I can understand Musk&#x27;s concern. The hatred out there against him is massive. Paying this kid off would probably only encourage -- rapidly -- more of the same to pop up though. But I suppose Musk has other options to protect his location, like putting the jet in someone else&#x27;s name, like having it reserved for him from a charter outfit. Or playing shell games with planes, etc.<p>It&#x27;s good that he takes his security so seriously. I&#x27;m among those who think that he&#x27;s arguably the human MVP at the moment.
