Is he afraid of a stalker following him in a plane? He uses this as an excuse, then discredits himself by going on to threaten legal action against Sweeney. Wants it both ways.

Knowing when/where a private plane lands makes it a lot easier to stalk the passengers of that plane.

This is of course entirely separate from whether such info was used against Musk or his family, or whether such a possibility is sufficient grounds for attempting to silence those who make it easily accessible (it's still accessible thanks to ADS-B for anyone with basic technical skills and cares enough).

Bernard Arnault (the new richest person in the world, and head of LVMH group) gave up his personal private jet to avoid this kind of tracking. Elon Musk can too if he wants to avoid the scrutiny.

Instead opting to rent different private jets from a fleet.

Yes, he's not about to fly commercial first class like one of the poors. He just has a better sense of opsec than Elon Musk, and a desire to stay out of the spotlight.

Have you heard of charter flights?

Yes, that's what I'm implying he does. I think LVMH also maintains a fleet of planes that he can use.
