Hate to agree with Elon about anything, but I actually agree with him on this. Sure it's federally protected under case law precedent, but the practice of posting real-time lication data seems like a dangerous practice.
The newspapers in MS did something similar to Medgar Evers, which my dad documented as a field officer for the US Commission on Human Rights. I wouldn't want anyone posting my movements either.

Not really anybody's business that Ding Dong owns a private jet.
I may not like it because it's wasteful. I may truly despise everything Ding Dong has done recently. I may hope he loses every penny and control of his companies because of what I consider acts against the interests of the USA.
That has nothing to do with how I feel about public disclosure of his flight records or his right to spend his own money on legal purchases.
@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS No, you're absolutely right and any implication on my part that they would is incorrect. Passenger Name Records are used all the time by Homeland Security and law enforcement but the public isn't granted access.
However, were Musk to fly commercial, he would find himself tracked by members of the public and their mobile phone cameras, as Ted Cruz did when leaving a Texas ice storm for Cancun a couple years ago.
@PoeticLicenseDK @JxckS Right. There is a lot of public information out there which crosses the line I think if collated and distributed, I agree with the premise.
A plane though is pretty coarse. Is he on it? Probably, but that is an inference. The end points, airports, tend to be large diffuse locations.
It is not like tracking where a cars travels, or where a phone is. Such as Teslas do and Twitter plans to do (for location based ads) ... !
“Hey folks, sorry, but Emperor ManChild just said: "Real-time posting of someone else’s location violates doxxing policy, but delayed posting of locations are ok" Looks like live-streaming, live-tweeting threads, and real-time coverage of public events is now illegal on Twitter.”
@JxckS Obviously not.
If you are paying attention to any followers (etc.) on your new platforms, ignore the one from altTwitter from the user “Elon.” That’s my throwaway/test account on my Mastodon instance. I’m sure Elon is stalking you, but it ain’t that account, that I can tell you. Long story, but I have to use that account to search for other server/instance users.
