    I think the above user was referring to this: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-moves-protect-aircraft-owners-private-information

    They are no longer making the information public which aircraft belongs to whom, so in the future you might no longer know that any given aircraft belongs to Elon Musk or any other celebrity. You can still track it, but you won’t know what aircraft to track.

      Sure… Until he takes his private jet out of the United States of America and has to register the information with a non USA equivalent of the FAA

        Just sit next to the airport with a telescope on days you know he will be there. He would have to change IDs every flight to avoid this.

      Yes, exactly this ^

      While I can appreciate the ADS-B bit, it seems clear that the change to public registration would still negatively affect tracking.
