Elon Musk made a lucrative offer, in his opinion, to a blogger who posted a tracking record of his private jet on his account.
But the $5,000 charge to delete an account didn’t sit well with 19-year-old Florida freshman Jack Sweeney. He, in turn, suggested adding a “zero”, i.e. $50,000. Or take him for an internship at one of Elon’s companies in exchange for deleting the account. Musk didn’t open the message, but Sweeney noted he wasn’t offended: “I think he’s on vacation in Hawaii if you check out @ElonJet.”
ElonJet, a Twitter account with more than 150,000 followers, uses a bot developed by Sweeney to track Musk’s flights and publicly releases information about when and where a plane takes off or lands, as well as the duration of each trip.
The college freshman has created about 12 other accounts that track the journeys of tech titans, including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX responded to the guy, noting that “this poses a threat to his personal safety.” The college freshman replied, “Yes, I can delete the account, but it will only cost you a Tesla Model 3.” The @ElonJet page has reportedly over 110,000 followers.
“I don’t like the idea of being shot by a psycho,” Elon Musk replied in a private message.
In general, until an agreement is reached, everyone can admire Musk’s routes.
