Twitter users joked that Elon Musk should be banned for doxxing himself by tweeting his location at World Cup final

• Elon Musk went to the World Cup final in Qatar on Sunday, and let the world know.
• But as he was shown on live TV and tweeted about the game, many questioned Twitter's doxxing policy.

As Elon Musk tweeted from the stands at the World Cup final on Sunday, Twitter users joked that he was breaking his own policy on "doxxing real-time location info."

The Twitter CEO banned several journalists last Thursday for sharing links to the ElonJet account, which tracked where Musk's private jet departs and lands. Those reporters were unbanned the following evening, after the billionaire ran a Twitter poll on the decision.

Now people are questioning how the doxxing policy is enforced, since news outlets and Musk himself have since shared his whereabouts. His private jet was earlier tracked from California to Qatar, with a stop in Luton, England.

Live television then showed Musk arriving at Lusail Stadium, and screenshots were tweeted by numerous news sites.

A senior producer at Sky News, Nick Stylianou, was left asking: "Are we allowed to tweet that Elon Musk is at the World Cup Final right now because it was just on TV or is that a ban?"

As Musk took his seat next to Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, he tweeted several videos of the game – leading many to joke that he was doxxing himself.

Jordan, who runs a popular Formula 1 fan account, tweeted: "It appears Elon Musk has posted real time coordinates of the individuals shown in this video."

And Lee Carter, a socialist and former Virginia delegate, said: "Looking forward to Elon Musk being banned for tweeting Elon Musk's real-time location."

Another tweeter, Mike Murphy, questioned: "Is it real time doxxing if you do it to yourself?"

Musk was later pictured shaking hands with Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and taking selfies with fans.

Argentina lifted the World Cup trophy after one of the tournament's most exciting finals, which saw two goals scored in extra time before Argentina won on penalties.

Twitter did not respond to a request for comment, sent outside US working hours.
