Elon Musk offered $ 5.000 to a 19-year-old to stop watching his private jet and upload to Twitter wherever he is.
Jack Sweeney uses bots and freely available air traffic information to record the movements of the richest man on earth on a private plane. And he tweets the data on his account, "Elon Musk's Jet."
And now SpaceX bought another Gulfstream G550 registered as N502SX. Registered yesterday. https://t.co/acpet6V7Sr pic.twitter.com/IITOEMSiVw

"Can you download it? "It's dangerous for safety," Musk wrote in a midnight message a while ago.
Then, the 19-year-old decided to enter into a bargain with the CEO of Tesla. "Yes, I can, but it will cost you a Model 3. I'm kidding, unless…," she replied.
"I do not like the idea of being shot by anyone crazy," Musk continued, and after a few more messages, offered him $ 5.000 to download his Twitter account.
"Is there a way to raise it to $ 50.000?" "It would be a great help to the college and possibly allow me to get a car, even a Model 3," Sweeney replied.
Musk said he would consider it, but did not contact the 19-year-old again.
However, this month he wrote on Twitter that the accounts that monitor his movements "are starting to become a security problem".
Going forward I will not be posting any reported travel plans for @elonmusk. I would encourage others to do so too. I'm sure Elon does not want that stuff reported & at the end of the day, we want to keep Elon and his family safe. This is why I deleted that post 2 days ago.

"We are watching the plane, not who may or may not board it," Sweeney said in a post yesterday.
