Maybe the argument is or should be about who is on a plane rather than where the plane might be. Expanding the concept beyond Elon, I personally don't like the idea of anyone being hounded by elements unknown just because of being famous. Do actors have the right to travel with their kids an not be mauled? I think they should have that right. There seems to be this general idea these days that acting like a complete jerk and without one ounce of civility is now acceptable. Harass people at restaurants, threaten to hurt politicians and their families, stalk actors and celebrities, burn down entire business districts, etc. What the hell is wrong with people?

> Maybe the argument is or should be about who is on a plane rather than where the plane might be. Well, that's not public information. Private jet owners can loan it out to friends (according to [0], Taylor Swift does this often), and you can't tell from flight plans who will be a passenger (or whether it will be carrying passengers at all). Just like you dislike people being rude at restaurants, I object to billionaires trying to carve out new kinds of privacy to hide their excesses. Civilian use of the skies requires cooperation and is an act that occurs in public.
