   The great irony is that by having a "private" plane all to himself, Elon has bought the OPPOSITE of anonymity. If he flew commercial, or even just chartered planes for each trip, his travel patterns would be much more opaque. But using an inherently trackable jet linked specifically to him makes his movements effectively public.

   It must be tough to be a billionaire. So much money, so many tradeoffs.
