Teenager is the threat of Elon Musk
A 19-year-old boy has given the tycoon a couple of problems
Elon Musk is a very media man, that has already been made very clear, but in the past few days he has been absorbed in a "security problem", or at least that is how the CEO of Tesla described it.
A teenager named Jack Sweeney has created an ingenious bot where he has discovered, based on information from airplanes in the air, which is Elon Musk's jet.
The guy at the expense of such information in his hands, has created a Twitter page, where he runs where the plane is at any time. Discover more, sliding!
Privacy 0 of a private plane
It is not very difficult to know that if a person has a private plane or jet, it is because they want to keep the privacy of what they do or do not do with it.
Elon Musk is one of the people who enters the list of owners with a private plane.
But unlike most other air traffic-activating owners, Elon Musk hasn't had the safeguard he wants so badly since June 2020.
Only at that time you did not find that information, which had become public for all Twitter users.
Said private life has been broken by a freshman from the University of Florida. He has created a bot to track Musk's jet and know where it is at any second of the day.
Twitter account: @ElonJet
No longer happy with the creation of this bot, the 19-year-old has also created a Twitter account where he records all activity carried out by the object owned by Musk.
It also places the track map that his application has registered, with exact specifications of latitude, longitude and altitude.
This account has been present on the social platform for some time now, but now it has become something to talk about. This is due to the increase in followers in the "tracking" account.
Which brought as a consequence a much more salient point: Elon Musk has found out, and has seen this as a threat to his private life, in late 2021.
For this reason, he has evoked to write by private message to the creator and computer of this account, to talk about the issue and reach a simple agreement, as thought by the CEO of Tesla.
Message sent by Musk
In December 2021, Elon Musk instigated Jack Sweeney through the @ElonJet page on the Twitter platform, asking if he could delete said posts, and everything the page regards.
He then proposed about $5,000 to raise the odds that he would say yes, and everything would just be settled for the tycoon.
However, Sweeney did not accept that deal, considering it a small sum to erase and waste his bot, on which he had worked for a long time.
In consideration, the guy offered him two other counteroffers: he could add a zero to that sum ($50,000) or he could offer him one of his Tesla cars.
Elon Musk said he would think about it, but went on to immediately block him from his social accounts and the matter is over for the CEO of SpaceX.
Jack Sweeney: A threat to Musk's security
Only a few years old, a very high-intellect student at the University of Central Florida in Orlando has found a way to thwart Musk.
Not having the possibility of hiding his tracks, as a result of his plane, by the tracker required to fly over US territory.
This is a forecast to rescue aircraft in distress, avoid crashes or find lost aircraft. The agency which handles this information is known as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).
This record takes into account everything that has to do with location in immediate time, with the help of its transponders.
Jack has taken and used this information to create a bot and find out who owns it. Said bot discovered Elon Musk's Gulfstream G650ER.
A fan of Elon Musk
This intelligent boy of American nationality has been considered a fan of the head of such resounding companies in the world, which has made him the man with the largest fortune on the entire planet.
In his social networks he has praised the work of Elon Musk at SpaceX and Tesla. Most likely is that it must have been a dream for him, to speak with this personality at least by direct message.
Although he did not get the items he wanted, he has found a lot of publicity that despite not placing him in a great position, he has become the resourceful boy who has challenged Elon Musk himself.
The job offers have arrived for the university student, but he describes in a television interview that now he only wants to dedicate himself to his studies and found his own company.
The ELONJET token
We'd think that was a grand finale for the guy, while Elon Musk hasn't publicly weighed in, not even a tweet.
Quite the contrary of an ending, Jack Sweeney has announced a cryptocurrency for Elon Jet in the “trace” account, which has raised the interest of the community.
But in this case it was not the same Jack Sweeney who has developed this token or memecoin. But in the same way he benefited from this cryptographic development.
The developers have promised to give Jack Sweeney a Tesla, apparently it really has been a great finishing touch to the whole story about Elon Jet and the university student.
Today the memecoin is trading at USD$0.000006263. Value that has been seen declining after its beginning with the one that opened the market, to a figure of USD$0.000011.
Has started posting information about other Jets
Although with Elon jet's publications he does not earn more than USD $20 per month, he has thought that if he multiplies that number to 150 more famous people, the figure will be much juicier.
The university resident in the city of Florida, has realized that his bot is a great source of business in the long term, since it will bring publicity to many airlines or in that case, to his program.
For this reason, it has begun to publish the real-time geographic location of other billionaires such as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
If all this information about the boy falls into the hands of the stock market, Jack Sweeney could face major legal problems for publishing confidential data from state agencies.
