US student who stalks Elon Musk’s private jets will stop only if...


In February this year, Sweeney turned down Musk’s offer of US$5,000 (RM22,440) to stop tracking his plane and instead demanded US$50,000 (RM224,400) or an internship. — Reuters

A 20-year-old college student who has been tracking Elon Musk’s private jet said he would stop the act if the Tesla boss agrees to take him on one of his tours. Jack Sweeney had earlier asked the tech billionaire to pay him US$50,000 (RM224,400) for him to stop tracking his flights.

“If he let me fly with him on his jet, record it and talk about it – and maybe not even pay me the US$50,000 (previously asked for) – I would take it down,” Sweeney tweeted as per the New York Post. “That is still up for discussion.”
