Teen wants $50,000 to stop tracking Elon Musk’s private jet
Last fall, the entrepreneur contacted Sweeney about ElonJet. “Can you take this down? It is a security risk,” he said, according to. Musk told Sweeney he would give him $5,000 to delete the account and keep “crazy people” from finding out his whereabouts. Sweeney made a counteroffer. “Any chance to up that to $50k? It would be great support in college and would possibly allow me to get a car maybe even a Model 3.
he wasn’t bothered by Musk ghosting him. His work on ElonJet had taught him how to code and landed him a part-time job with a company called UberJets. Plus, as a self-proclaimed fan, he got to share a conversation with one of his idols., he said he decided to go public with Musk’s offer after the billionaire seemingly lost interest in cutting a deal."He went the opposite way of me, so why wouldn't I go the opposite way of him?" he asked the publication.
