The person who ran automated Twitter accounts that tracked Elon Musk’s and SpaceX’s jets had his personal account suspended Wednesday afternoon.

Earlier on Wednesday, the two jet-tracking accounts owned by Jack Sweeney were suspended and about a half-hour after Mr. Sweeney used his persona account to point this out in protest, that too was gone.

Mr. Sweeney had tweeted out “Well it appears @ElonJet is suspended” around mid-morning, just days after he said that an anonymous employee told him his posts were being covertly suppressed — or “shadow-banned” — by the company.

He said later that afternoon that his account used to track the SpaceX employee jet had also been suspended.
