Jack Sweeney — the Florida college student who started the ElonJet Twitter account that used a bot to track the location of Musk’s private jet using publicly available data — started an account named “elonmusksjet” on Threads last week soon after Meta launched the platform. Sweeney’s project gained notoriety in early 2022 when Musk offered him $5,000 to stop posting his plane’s location, and the student replied with a request for $50,000.
24-hour delay account Sweeney has continued to tweet the location of Musk’s jet with a 24-hour delay, using the account @ElonJetNextDay, though that account has a far more modest 25,600 followers. Musk had said a 24-hour delay of flight information would be allowed under Twitter’s new rules set up to suspend @ElonJet. And Sweeney continues to tweet under a personal account, using it to announce the move of ElonJets to Threads.
