AT&T should just retire the number at that point right

#4I heard someone found shoes that Bill Gates once wore and a gum chewed by Steve Jobs. Both became relics and worshippers write articles about this in the internet.
Seriously though - would someone think it was ok if I got a number after a local bakery owner and started sharing messages that were sent to me by mistake? Is this ok because EM is a more known person? I think it still falls under privacy standards.

#5Seems like a good idea to change your number... after 4 years.

#6Weird that Elon did not just pay to keep the number and blackhole it.

#7"Some of those who texted Tucker said Musk himself provided the number to them. When NPR asked Musk whether he gave out that number to people he was trying to dodge, he did not respond."

There aren't that many phone numbers where it's reasonable to retire them willy-nilly (given the desire to have consistent "area codes").

The messages were sent to her number. I don't think there is any privacy violation if you drop mail addressed to 'person residing at this address' at the wrong house.

I mean, when they say Elon, it's no longer exactly addressed to "the person residing at this address", right?
