I agree. I imagine he may have bought it before Elon went crazy too, when it was hyped up and one of very few options. We don't know though.
And, I mean, he's why I'm here now and why I have GrapheneOS on my phone and why I'm looking into even starting some local activist groups focused on data privacy and why I'm hosting some op sec parties with my friends to teach them more about all the FOSS and privacy focused apps and software I'm learning about.
To err is to be human. If anything, I'd want to see him use the audience to jailbreak a Tesla and build and open source OS to push to it to strip the tracking from it. Given that there's an even harder push now to include eye tracking, breath tracking, heart rate tracking, and more as standard in 2027 cars, that feels pretty useful to me.
