Remember the teenager who was tracking Elon Musk's private jet and refused to stop even after the billionaire offered him some sweet cash? Well, turns out the 19-year-old has other billionaires on his list.?
Jack Sweeney found the airplane tail number for the SpaceX CEO and kept tabs on him through his Twitter page @ElonJet. Now, he has 'expanded' his stalking to include other rich people like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, and even entertainment celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Drake. He founded @CelebJets on the microblogging website and made dedicated pages for the Microsoft co-founder and former Amazon boss.?
His thousands of followers have access to where these A-listers are going each and every day by using bots to collate air traffic data that is available to the public.?
After Sweeney's shenanigans caught Musk's attention, the Tesla founder asked the teenager to take the account down for a small fee in exchange - he offered Sweeney $5,000.
Musk's message allegedly stated: "Can you take this down? It is a security risk."Sweeney replied: "Yes I can but it'll cost you a Model 3 only joking unless?" to which Musk then said: "I don't love the idea of being shot by a nutcase."?
After a bit of this and that, Musk?proceeded to offer Sweeney $5,000, to which Sweeney replied: "Any chance to up that to $50k? It would be great support in college and would possibly allow me to get a car maybe even a Model 3."
According to reports, after agreeing to think about the new offer, Musk has reportedly not been back in touch.?
Musk tweeted that social-media accounts tracking his movements were 'becoming a security issue. However, Sweeney told Bloomberg that it's just harmless fun.?
"I knew he had a plane, you know, as a fan of SpaceX and Tesla stuff. I thought the Elon Musk's Jet bot would reveal like where he's going and what business he's doing," he said.?
