Elon Musk is a nice chap

The lady keeps asserting loyalty, too much ? I'll look that up, interesting take.

In the play, Hamlet is aggressively provoking his mother by having the actors (in the play-within-the-play) show a very faithful wife, who does protest her everlasting fidelity in a long speech.
Gertrude (his mother) is annoyed and responds with that line after Hamlet asks, "Madam, how like you this play?"
Another commonly misunderstood line is Juliet's: "Wherefore art thou Romeo?", which is not a question about his whereabouts.

That's clearly extortion and not just a matter of re-posting some obscure but publicly available information.

Musk was the first to offer monetary compensation for shutting down the bot. The kid’s subsequent reply is clearly a negotiation, not the extortion. There is no evidence that the kid built the bot with the purpose of extorting money from Elon, or that he is not trolling Musk by making public counteroffers.

Musk is a public figure who loves to be in public spotlight both on TV, in the press and while twitting to his 121 million followers. He is known for making political statements in public, and making actions that impact political system both in this country and around the world.
As being the public figure, Musk does not have the same privacy protections as a private citizen has. It is of public interest to know every piece of Elon’s life: including information about his travel destinations, who he golfs with, who his mistress is, and what did he eat for breakfast. This also includes information about his adult family members. People who are obsessed with Hunter Biden’s affairs should fully support the last part.
If Musk was a typical workaholic CEO, who screws competitors, demands employees to work 80 hours a week while sleeping in the office, enjoys private jets, yachts and expensive mansions, but keeps his mouth shut in public, then that would be a completely different story.

Again, publishing his location in real time is not the same as publishing information about his life after the fact. Also I've seen a good argument that private jets often use small aerodromes without security, so it becomes a very serious security risk.

The same argument applies to privacy of private citizens. I, for example, do not understand why a flight that I, my small children and 300 other souls boarded in couch class can be tracked in real time, while Musk’s jet should be untraceable. As I suggested few posts above, Elon should lobby Congress, European Commission, Australian Parliament, King Charles III, Emperor of Japan on banning ADS-B.
Elon’s annual income ($23.5B in 2021) exceeds budget revenue of small EU member states (12.4B Euros during the same period in Latvia). If Latvia can afford police and military force, I am sure Elon can and should affords bodyguards who can protect him and his family even at smallest airfield in the middle of nowhere disregarding of whether they flew there on a private jet or a charter, or took a scheduled commercial passenger flight. It is a prudent thing to do for a rich person like Musk.
