How about drones? If you don't want all of your information avaible online and don't want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.

Honestly, I think this will be a bigger boon to folks like Elevated Access than to the billionaires of the world. Makes it a little harder for some chud who doesn't like what they're doing to show up at a pilot's home with a rifle.
Glad to hear there is a good thing to come out of this
This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don't care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.
If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?
Huh... Recent context has really ruined jokes like this...

Maybe they're rich people saying fuck y'all, but TBH we've been able to keep website registration info private for years, and privacy is such a big thing now, sure why not.
Aircraft are sort of expensive and they can cause large scale damage to the public. At a certain point, the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
If they want privacy, they can reregister their planes to an LLC. Having Congress pass this loophole was just Musk's way of flexing his power over the legislative body.
the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.
Why? This "right to know" is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).

Sounds like what somebody would say to carefully lay the groundwork for abolishing online anonymity. Computers can cause large scale damage to the public, and they're cheap!

How wow as if there is a club
Hmmm
This is a good thing for us normal humans. More privacy is always a good thing. Let it spread further...

I mean do we have any reason to expect it to travel further? The system made a few billionares feel uncomfortable, now they don't feel uncomfortable, the law isn't going to expand.
If a face tracking or car tracking system were to go live. Billionares would find a way to exempt themselves from it, but make sure it was live for everyone else. The reason there aren't exceptions made for this rule, are because there's not a whole lot of poor private plane owners.
This isn't restricted to billionaires. It will benefit others as well.

I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.
She may not be as bad but she's still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers. Her greed and abuse of the system will always be closer to Elon than any of us
