I can understand Musk's concern. The hatred out there against him is massive. Paying this kid off would probably only encourage -- rapidly -- more of the same to pop up though. But I suppose Musk has other options to protect his location, like putting the jet in someone else's name, like having it reserved for him from a charter outfit. Or playing shell games with planes, etc.
It's good that he takes his security so seriously. I'm among those who think that he's arguably the human MVP at the moment.
