I don't really see this flying in front of a court. This information is easily accessible publicly literally one search to get the aircraft registration number and a second one on Flightradar24 or any of the other sites/apps to see where it is. It's not "technically public" as onsite paper records at your mayor's office, it's widely accessible online public.
So if Elon's aircraft identifier was meant to be publicly accessible even though he is using that program, why does this privacy program exist in the first place?

Except it isn't. Elon's jet has been subscribed to this program for months:

This was confirmed by Elon himself: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603803508087537665
