You noticed that slight of hand too? Go back to the original HN thread on this ban and you’ll find a poster asking for another “narrative” besides Musk being a rank hypocrite. This is that narrative his followers were looking for.
The slight of hand here is to conflate the car and the plane and the dates. This allows his followers to push a “it was for his child’s safety!” argument, in which yet again Elon Musk uses his children as a prop to avoid critical examination of his new story. Which, as you and others point out, falls apart due to the timing of the last tweet and the purported incident.
