19-year-old software student Jack Sweeney created 15 bots on Twitter that track the movement of private jets, including those of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Elon Musk. By the way, Musk did not like this idea, and he asked to close the Twitter page called @ElonJet, which tracks the movement of his aircraft around the world. Elon Musk wrote that this poses a threat to his personal safety. To which the college freshman replied, “Yes, I can, but it will only cost a Tesla Model 3.”
During the correspondence, Elon Musk made his own offer: 5,000 US dollars to delete the account and help the billionaire stop “crazy people” from tracking his whereabouts. Sweeney offered Musk to increase the amount to 50 thousand dollars and noted that he would even agree to an internship at one of Elon's companies in exchange for deleting the account. Elon Musk didn't open the message, but the enterprising software student noted he wasn't offended: “I think he's on vacation in Hawaii if you check @ElonJet,” according to ixbt.com.
It is noted that more than 110 thousand people have subscribed to the @ElonJet page.
