Well, basically all Elon does derives a ton of money from the government...
The cybertruck is objectively bad, I see no reason that car would be selected for police use which makes me think the "invisible" hand of the market (ahem, lobbying, bribing, etc) was involved
Today getting some data on a user is bad as smart hackers can put together the context ... However any guessing the hacker has to do may alert the user before the hacked data can successfully be exploited
Now, a hacker would know exactly where each password goes and worse, they'd could learn the entire workflow of internal systems to successfully imitate a trained user...
This means the hacker could use the stolen bank data and legitimately issue credit cards to anyone they want (for example)
It's no longer "we'll expose some data", now it's "we can use this data to infiltrate your systems and wreak havoc in whatever way we want"
If I’m a stock holder or potential buyer of stock and I read that the CEO is dumping billions of dollars of his own stock, I am going to think something bad is happening. Notifying the public in advance gives us more information to decide what we should do.
They don't have to notify the public at all
There is nothing in the SEC laws that makes it necessary to disclose the use of Rule 10b5-1 to the public, but that doesn't mean companies shouldn't release the information anyway. Announcements of utilizing Rule 10b5-1 are useful in warding off public relations problems and helping investors understand the logistics behind certain insider trades.
The rules do not specify the public should be informed at all

In 2020 I built a gaming PC and at the time decided to dual boot because I wasn't going to spend all this money and miss out on some games. However, not 6 months later I dissolved the dual boot config because my son and I never found a game we cared to try that was Windows only.
Proton is a translation layer that helps run Windows games in Linux. It works seamlessly with Steam so you don't have to worry about it at all... so far, ZERO problems. Of course, YMMV depending on the games you are interested in; however, you can check in advance in ProtonDB, this site will tell you if the game you want to play can be played well on Linux (assuming the game is not ported already).
I also went with a derivative Linux distro that is geared toward gaming so it comes with almost everything you'd need. It's called GarudaLinux I liked it so much it is now my daily driver for work as well (even though this is one of those "risky" Linux distro since it is a rolling release, meaning you are on the edge of tech available, and I update it weekly... other than some small issues here and there, it's been going strong for 4 years)
If you have a movie collection, you'd have no problem either unless they are DMR protected somehow... if so, there are ways to watch them but it would depend on what you downloaded... However, if these fishes we are talking about came from the high seas, you'd have no problem. There are some discrepancies regarding hardware support for certain codecs but it all boils down to efficiency, not whether you can play them or not.
I have a VAST collection (3500+ movies, 400 TV shows) in a Linux server that I access throughout my house with many devices (PCs, phones, FireTV sticks, Raspberry Pi, etc) by using an Emby server... Emby is free to use but you get to pay for some features... if you want the fully free and open source version you can go with Jellyfin... I only went with Emby because 6 years ago (maybe more?) when I started, Jellyfin was a bit behind... now they have caught up but I already bought Emby so I keep using it.
So?... I am the CEO... I know our new line of highly anticipated space tentacle dildos are not going to be in stores by Christmas as expected, I give notice and sell stock before the public finds out and stock goes down
I also know, because of the delay, we are squeezing the Chinese manufacturer, so I will give notice and buy the stock in January knowing we are probably going to offer deep discounts to get those consumers back
How is giving advance notice any safety? unless the rules say they need to give 500 days of notice or something long enough there is no possible way to predict properly with ALL the information and power a CEO would have to manipulate the stock
If you have degoogled, even if partially, I doubt you'd find moving to Linux hard
Probably the hardest part would be to chose a distro... Stick with the main ones (Debian, Fedora or Arch) to start (you can chose one of their derivatives but pick a famous one so you can have easier time finding documentation)
Oh yes, I can ask about a brown bag once saw and don't remember... Or maybe I forgot if that document I created was in my "Documents" folder or not .... Wow, the future is now
How could a CEO of any company trade his own stock from the company and not be insider trading?
The fact they are allowed to control stock is laughable... At best, stock from the company you control should be in a blind trust (which would still be laughable but we can at least pretend)
