I'm sympathetic, but some aspects of privacy are absolutely rights (and should continue to be). In the US, for example, HIPAA restricts health care providers from wanton dissemination of your private health information. This applies to Elon Musk as much as anyone else. I'm happy enough considering that a human right, inasmuch as similar laws don't apply to my dogs' veterinary records.
Or consider someone pointing binoculars into our window from a a high vantage point so that he can watch my partner undress. If privacy is "our duty", should we be required to use closed blackout curtains on all windows at all times, or else it should legally be our own fault for being watched? My vitamin D is already low enough.
I absolutely agree that you give up certain aspects of privacy when you accept the privilege of being extremely wealthy. No argument from me there. But I still think Musk should enjoy the right of showering without someone selling uncensored photos of the event.
