Isn't ADS-B mandatory in the USA since January 1st 2020?
Definitely for IFR...<p>edit 1: Presumably should be visible here, if airborne...

(N-628TS) <a href="https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af" rel="nofollow">https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a835af</a> , Seem to be a couple of jets used by elon musk and/or spacex. YMMV. At least some of them are trackable at least.
It goes beyond Musk in my opinion. The elite are annoyed that every peasant now has the technological ability to photograph and disseminate their actions and whereabouts. Show their lies and hypocrisy for all to see.<p>The cat is out of the bag though. The same technology that allowed Musk to become a cult figure can be used against him.
If you are ok with Elon Musk (or any other plane) being trackable, you should be ok to have your license plate tracked and your movements published wherever you go.
Whatever you think of Elon up until this point, I don't see how you can find him reliable/trustworthy. He specifically said that @elonjet was ok and then reversed course on that.<p>He's obviously a liar at minimum.
