There are very many privacy concerns these days. Not the least of which is that cars collect data about you - from tracking where and how you drive to recording conversations on the integrated microphones. And at present, there is no way to opt out. And they can do with it as they please, from selling it to unknown 3rd parties, to sharing it with insurance companies, to releasing it to law enforcement if they see fit.
We had the incident with the cybertruck that exploded in Las Vegas, which the media was quick to pounce on - with incomplete or erroneous information. But, then Elon Musk proudly told everyone that he would retrieve all the info from this vehicle, in order to help law enforcement piece together what happened.
There are so many concerns with this. He arbitrarily offered to pull up some personal type data and share it (generally, anyway) with the world. How is that okay? And in the position of power he has, how will he abuse that ability?
And as an aside: I take exception to Elon's recent comments that he wants to help the police, and believes in law enforcement. That sure sounds nice, but isn't he sucking up to the convicted felon who was able to make an additional series of charges that may have led to additional convictions and jail time go away? What about enforcement of the laws that man broke?
So I suppose he supports law enforcement when it suits him?
