University of Central Florida student Jack Sweeney made the Twitter bot that tracks Musk’s private jet and tweets his whereabouts. Musk didn’t like that, so he messaged Sweeney.
Sweeney said no. The exchange between the two of them gets really fun. First, Musk asks the teenager what he should do, and then he says, ‘I don’t love the idea of being shot by a nutcase,’ which gives us a clue about Musk’s thoughts on being tracked.
Sweeney uses websites that publicly and legally track plane transponders. He used his IT and coding skills and love of planes to aggregate that information and make the bot. The account now has more than 100,000 followers. "I’d put in so much work and time, and it’s something I enjoy doing and 5K doesn’t seem like a lot for how much I get out of it and I enjoy doing it," said Sweeney.
He boldly asked Musk to up the offer to $50,000. Then, he asked for an internship. No dice. The conversation died shortly after that.
