I'd qualify that with a modern car with wireless connectivity, which, of course, all Teslas have.
As far as Elon himself having access, I doubt he sits there surfing camera footage like the most boring cable package in the world, but he owns the company, America's privacy laws are sadly lacking, and he likes attention, so of course he's going to get his name on this, whether he had a hand in it or not.
Maybe not Elon himself, but there's been a leak some years ago from Tesla's internal discord or something with engineers sharing photos from the cars external cameras as memes - stuff like the owners walking around in pajamas etc.
It wasn't just outside the car, they were sharing video and pictures from inside the car too. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/04/tesla-workers-shared-images-from-car-cameras-including-scenes-of-intimacy/
