In the Twitter conversation, Sweeney told Musk how his bots are able to track his private jet and gave some advised advice on how to potentially make it less trackable. Musk replied, “Air Traffic Control is so primitive.” Musk might be joking about the Air Traffic Control being primitive, but knowing him, he might be serious as well.Even though Musk told Sweeney he'd consider his demands, the duo had no communication afterward.
