There is a skit out there about the American dream, something like “where the little guy does well, advances, gets promoted, becomes the boss, and then can stamp on all the little guys”
There is no one size fits all solution to this problem, the stuff he said kinda makes sense to me. Maybe you have different issues. I don't care about whether it is scientifically correct, he is telling some simple stuff which makes logical sense, and it does actually work for me.
Alternatively you can read the "Procrastination" post on the Wait But Why blog about the same subject. That might be more scientifically accurate.
My point is that it would be much harder to know which airplane is Elon's jet if it weren't for the twitter account.
Which goes to the gp's point that even if the data is public, making it easily accessible increases Elon's personal safety risk.
That said, the NYT story does seem to make my point a bit moot. In any case, I wasn't aware of that story, and it didn't come up when I searched for "Elon Musk jet callsign".
Although I would guess a determined attacker could find it out given sufficient research.

You don't have to be determined; a college freshman on a lark found Musk, Gates, etc. and made Twitter accounts. This information is intentionally public; you can browse recent plane registrations at https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Search/RecentRegist..., export it to CSV, with full name and address of each owner.
I get a text message whenever my dad is seen in the air.
@elonjet isn't the problem here. (IMO, there isn't a problem.)
Wow, ok. You really can search by people's first name and last name, and tail numbers come up. I'm surprised. I just assumed it was like license plate numbers; my bad.
Interesting. I am surprised there is a "name" field. It has some random holding company ... but if you're an individual not playing the shell game, are you required to put your actual name there? Or is there an option not to?
Yikes, people. I didn't say twitter should ban posting license plates and airplane tail numbers, I was just saying those things are pretty equivalent and there should be a clear policy on it that is followed consistently.
He paid the price for that (and other things) via lawsuit settlements. Trump also had successful business ventures, so people saw him as a mixed bag. On another note, you don't need to be virtuous to be elected - just look at most politicians.
At least anecdotally this push was the final push I needed to stop using reddit. I went from probably browsing for a few hours a day to maybe once or twice a month when a friend links me a post.
>Someone with the app installed on their phone is going to engage much more frequently
This sounds like something management would claim, but how so? What's inherently more appealing or engaging about the app, especially when you're practically forcing people to use it?
