Elon Musk popularised this cope argument a few years ago. It sounds intelligent to people who are incapable of any level of critical thinking or nuance and believe everything in the world is either 100% A or 100% B with no in-between. Sadly, this is a large percentage of the population.

What did he say to popularize this?

I was pretty sure he said something to the effect of "privacy doesn't matter/doesn't exist" a few years ago but I can't find the interview I'm thinking of. All I can find is this video on the topic from The Hated One, which isn't referencing the interview I'm thinking of.
