Will Elon now shut this kid up now that he owns Twitter?
A 19-year-old built a flight-tracking Twitter bot. Elon Musk tried to pay him to stop.
Quote:
“Can you take this down? It is a security risk.”
@ElonJet is one of 15 flight-tracking accounts Sweeney has created, run by bots he’s programmed to parse the data and tweet every time a chosen plane takes off or lands. Each one follows a high-profile person, almost all in tech, including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. But Musk’s tracker is the most popular, with nearly 83,000 followers.
The account's popularity appears to have scared Musk. “I don’t love the idea of being shot by a nutcase,” he told Sweeney in their DM conversation.

Tell that to someone who gives a F.
But unfortunately this Sweeney youngster is a huge Musk fan.
