Isn’t this the modus operandi of every company?

Example: You pay for a vehicle and they take all of your vehicle data and resell it. Uber as another, you pay for the ride yet get ads on your journey. There are many more examples.

Just be honest about your bias against X and Elon.

Not at all, my current motor doesn't take any data from me and connects to nothing. I don't use Uber. I avoid data collection when I can.

I'm not 'biased' against Mr. Musk, I think he has many impressive accomplishments under his belt. I just won't blindly praise everything he does. I wish his 'anti-establishment' senses would make him more anti-bulk collection, it seems inconsistent to me.
