It is mind boggling to read this wave of hatred towards Musk from the political left, who claimed to be much more virtuous than the right wingers. This includes the use of #FakeNews about him flying to a childrapists island (without air strip), defence of stalkers and much more.
And yes, Public tracking a private vehicle by its licence number / flight number is illegal in Europe and regarded as #Stalking - even more so since repeated attempts to change the number.
I knew there were many hypocrites within the left, but this just became extremely toxic and dangerous. Both sides now are violent and know no #Anstand anymore. Everything is just escalating more and more.

For month now, #FreeTheLeopards is a popular chant in the social networks. People demand especially from #Germany, to “finally take the foot from the break” and “send the Leopards”. As a Panzergrenadier Veteran and member of the #OSINT community, I want to give some insights 🧵
Main questions I hope to answer with the 🧵:
1. How many 🐆 MBTs are there? 2. How many does 🇩🇪 operate? 3. Are the stored Leopard 1 any good? 4. How many tanks does 🇺🇦 operate? 5. What does 🇺🇦 actually want? 6. What could be actually send? 7. Is 🇩🇪 blocking 🐆 from others?
1.&2.: 🇩🇪 owned 2.125 🐆2 MBTs in 1990. From these ≈1.800 were sold to other nations. 🇩🇪 reduced its own stock to 266 in 2020, soon to be re-increased to 328. The difference is accounted for by sales to many other nations and can be checked here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_2
