Elon's jet is flying around on public infrastructure. Airports, airspace, air traffic control, etc. Just like driving on public roads, you have no expectation of privacy if someone wants to sit on a street corner and write down every time you drive by.
The side effects of ADS-B have been really great in this regard. I love it.

ADS-B data on the LADD list is apparently not public information.

It can be crowdsourced, and can be weaponized against individuals. The same way license plate photography can be used to track individual's cars.
Now that this data has been used against Elon's family, a series of retractions are in order.
Why on earth are y’all licking one of the richest people on Earths boots. The man is clearly using his power and money to stifle speech that that is critical of him. That’s not something that needs defending.
