Tesla CEO Elon Musk offered $5,000 to a teenager who built a Twitter bot that’s been tracking his jet — in exchange for him getting rid of the bot. Nineteen-year-old Jack Sweeney created the Twitter bots that have been tracking billionaires’ private jets, including Musk’s.
Elon Musk offered $5,000 to halt the Twitter bot tracking his jet
Sweeney, a freshman at the University of Central Florida, has now asked for an internship instead of the $5,000 Elon Musk offered. Sweeney told the Daily Mail, that he would be interested in interning at either Tesla or SpaceX, but Musk has not responded to his request. However, the Tesla CEO did say before Sweeney asked for the internship that it “doesn’t feel right” to pay him to take the Twitter bot tracking his jet down.
