A teen who built a Twitter bot that provides updates on the movements of Elon Musk’s private jet says he’ll delete the account if the billionaire pays him $50K.

A teen who built a Twitter bot that provides real-time updates on the movements of Elon Musk’s private jet says he’ll delete the account if the billionaire entrepreneur pays him $50,000.

The account, which the Florida-based Sweeney set up in June 2020 and currently has 185,000 followers, uses publicly available data and automatically posts a tweet every time Musk’s jet takes off and lands. Below is one of the bot’s recent tweets.— Elon Musk's Jet January 30, 2022 “Any chance to up that to $50K?,” Sweeney responded, adding that it would be “great support in college and would possibly allow me to get a car, maybe even a Model 3.”
