Privacy isn't a right because it can't be enforced. Should I be able to sue someone for taking photos of me walking to the grocery store? Should other people be able to sue me for reading a newspaper over their shoulder? No, that kind of litigation is insane. There is no such idea as a "reasonable expectation of privacy" when you own a multimillion dollar private jet. You're being taxied through airports on one of the largest vehicles mankind can make, of course you're not going to be private. There's no basis for enforcing that kind of right, it would quickly devolve into a game of "who can buy the better lawyer", which certainly doesn't balance the scales of justice.
The whole "privacy is a human right" shtick is a virtue-signally scam. Privacy is your duty, nobody will give it to you for free. Complaining that the rest of the world won't ignore you after writing a Tweet that 500 thousand people liked is absurd. Musk had his chance to live a private life. He threw it away, and now he lives the consequences. Defending some multi-billionaire because he can't have his cake and eat it too is just ridiculous. I say that as someone with neutral feelings towards Musk overall.
I'm sympathetic, but some aspects of privacy are absolutely rights (and should continue to be). In the US, for example, HIPAA restricts health care providers from wanton dissemination of your private health information. This applies to Elon Musk as much as anyone else. I'm happy enough considering that a human right, inasmuch as similar laws don't apply to my dogs' veterinary records.
Or consider someone pointing binoculars into our window from a a high vantage point so that he can watch my partner undress. If privacy is "our duty", should we be required to use closed blackout curtains on all windows at all times, or else it should legally be our own fault for being watched? My vitamin D is already low enough.
I absolutely agree that you give up certain aspects of privacy when you accept the privilege of being extremely wealthy. No argument from me there. But I still think Musk should enjoy the right of showering without someone selling uncensored photos of the event.
