More money for the teen who follows Elon Musk's plane

Last year, Elon Musk offered $5,000, or around 1.6 million forints, to a 19-year-old boy who shared information about the route of his billionaire's private jet on his Twitter account. 

Jack Sweeney has made global headlines in recent days after it emerged that he had been sharing details of Elon Musk's private jet via his Twitter account, and the Tesla boss himself has not been letting it go unchallenged. The billionaire contacted Sweeney last year asking if he could take the data down because it posed a security risk. The guy, of course, responded immediately. "Yes, I can do that, but it will cost a Model 3" - he wrote, quickly adding that he was only joking.

As we have already reported at, Elon Musk offered the boy $5,000 to delete the account, but Sweeney thought they could raise the amount to $50,000. "It would be a great help at university, and I might even have enough money left over to buy a car, like a Model 3." - he wrote.

Musk responded that he would think about it, but that was last year, and the billionaire has not come forward since. The teenager has now had his fill of waiting, with the Business Insiderin an interview with spoke tothat 5 thousand dollars is not enough for him, he has a lot of work on this site and he will not sell it for less than 50 thousand.

Musk still hasn't responded, but earlier he reportedly told Sweeney that he would feel bad if he paid him for such a thing.
