Elon Musk offers student cash to stop tracking his private jet

Can you imagine having your private flights shared on the internet without your consent? Well then! Apparently, Elon Musk is experiencing this headache caused by a student.

With the advancement of internet use, tracking aircraft has also become quite simple, much to the chagrin of private jet owners. Knowing this, some billionaires and aircraft owners often request that their aircraft be blocked from being tracked on major tracking sites (Flightradar24, RadarBox and etc…).

However, despite Elon Musk being the richest man in the world, such purchasing power did not prevent his Gulfstream G650 ER, registration number N628TS, from going unnoticed by a student who not only tracked the jet, but also published the destinations on a social network. of the executive jet.

According to information from Portal Simple flying, Jack Sweeny, a 19-year-old student, was offered $5.000 to have the billionaire's jet profile taken down.

However, the student made a counter-proposal with a single-digit increase in the prize offered (US $50.000) or that he be given the opportunity of an internship at SpaceX, something that has not yet happened.

For the curious on duty, the Twitter @ElonJet already has more than 220.000 followers and humorously reports the destinations and cities in which Elon Musk's aircraft is visiting, something that does not seem to please the billionaire.

In addition, Elon Musk himself ed a student asking for the tracking of his jet to be closed, claiming that this could pose risks to his safety. Interestingly, the student also has other s that track the aircraft of billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

Although the joke can yield a job opportunity or a small fortune, on the other hand, Jack Sweeny is also at risk of facing legal problems, since it is about sharing information from private assets to the public domain.
