I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness! It is such a nice thing to centralize all my most sensitive data into one giant honeypot waiting to meltdown. It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!
It does say "for up to 30 days". Would've been better if it was 24 hours, but after the initial wave of verifications, there probably won't be much there.
That is assuming you can trust the company that does the verification for them.
