Much information about a person is publicly available, that doesn't mean it's not doxxing when you gather it and broadcast it.

Whether you are finding someone's email, or real name, or jet location, or home address, and then announce it, you are doxxing them.

There's a big difference between Elon and the average public.

Serious question: Why is a home address considered off limits? For most people, you can find their home address with 5 minutes of Googling. For someone like me, and I imagine the average HN reader, that time is more like 5 seconds. Your address is not usually considered private information, except in this context.

We used to have a thing called the phone book that put everyone's name, phone number, and address together in a book and sent it out. None of those is a piece of private information.
