Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can now hide details of their private jets/// Private aircraft owners can now ask the FAA to keep their registration information out of the public eye.

If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?
Huh... Recent context has really ruined jokes like this...
You have to go at it the other way, now:
As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don't have money, then what will trickle down to me?
Wait no that's still not funny at all.

I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.
She's more like Elon than any of us will ever be

Oddly, millionaires aren't really the middle class. House's in California routinely cost more than a million dollars. And a lot of people probably have a million dollars of retirement in one form or another. (Pensions have a value that very often tops a million). The middle class you are describing (athletes and pop stars) probably are more like 100 million or something. We just don't have a good name for that.
What the "middle class" can afford has changed quite a bit in the last few decades. Owning a home is arguably "upper class" at this point. The median US income was only $80k in 2023. Pentions are also getting increasingly rare. What used to be considered middle class is now struggling to get by.
Middle class is defined by the income of the middle third of the population, not by a particular lifestyle. -

This isn't restricted to billionaires. It will benefit others as well.
Yes this isn't limited to billionaires. It protects everyone who owns private jets...

Paparazzi can become useful by simply being the ones reporting the plane movement as they follow them around in person.

It's mostly about how she uses flights. It's a waste of energy and a big contributor to pollution when they are taking a whole ass jet for about 5 people to go 30 miles.

And then when their anonymous airplanes crashed into each other, the world felt conflicted about it.

Don’t they also charter their planes when they aren’t being used?

So can guys like Epstein...

There
are no good billionaires -
This is actually most helpful to the little guys that own $20,000 airplanes.
I have a small airplane and it's always bothered me that my name and address are publicly accessible through the FAA registry.
Most pilots I know are careful about photos they publish online showing their tail number printed in large bold letters on either side of the aircraft. This registration number can be entered into websites like flightaware.com and someone is literally two clicks from seeing my full name and home address.
Why would you want to hide that information? As long as planes use public skies everyone should be identified. Thats like the very basics of every secure operation.
-
How about drones? If you don't want all of your information avaible online and don't want remoteid to directly tell anyone and everyone where you live you can request not to do any of that stuff, right? Oh no, this is just for rich people flying in private jets that can transport humans and tons of cargo.
Elon now can more easily buy his specialK, lol

Just like with the cars.
You can find out anything as well with the license plates.

Bourgeoisie is what they are called. Wealthy people without an aristocratic tile and not part of the ruling class.

mostly because shes been promoting what her fans believe, and now she seen as a hypocrite for that. she did. hers a little more complex.
-
I hope a traffic controller guides Elon's jet into the tarmac.
even better, accidentally into trumps airforce one.
-
She's more like Elon than any of us will ever be
many people tried to astroturfed she dint come from money,. she literally came from an upper middle class upbringing bordering wealthy. her family moved her to tennessee so she looks "poorer" than she is to her fans.
-
She may not be as bad but she's still a billionaire who rides her private jet everywhere on a whim contributing more to climate change than thousands of people will in multiple lifetimes and was included in the Panama Papers.
the joke about her being extremely vexatiously litigious around her music too.
