The college kid who created a proprietary Twitter bot that tracks Elon
Musk's private jet announced an FAA FOIA request "went through" and
now can track three SpaceX jets.

19-year-old Jack Sweeney, the mad genius behind the Twitter account
"Elon Musk's Jet," announced early Saturday morning that his "FAA FOIA
request went thru, Now I have all the registration and airworthiness
documents for all the SpaceX jets."

    My FAA FOIA request went thru, Now I have all the registration and
airworthiness documents for all the SpaceX jets.

Elon Musk's Jet uses public flight data to track not just Musk's
private jet but two others. Sweeney uploaded registration and
airworthiness documents of three SpaceX jets (including Musk's
Gulfstream G650 and two other Gulfstream G550s).

Days ago, Musk blocked Sweeney on Twitter after the billionaire became
annoyed that Elon Musk's Jet account has hundreds of thousands of
followers tracking his location.

Musk offered the kid a lousy $5k to delete the account last month.
Sweeney responded to the billionaire and asked for $50k or a Tesla
Model 3. Musk didn't comply and told him that he was concerned about
"crazy people" tracking his location.

Tracking corporate jets of dealmakers is nothing new. Quandl, a flight
monitoring company that sells flight data, uncovered a Warren Buffett
deal before it happened after a big shot in the oil and gas industry
flew to Omaha, Nebraska.

As we've said numerous times, Sweeney should offload his bots to hedge
funds before Musk finds a way to nuke the account.

    "Elon might not be interested in my offer, but I'm sure hedge
funds that already use flight data to track corporate execs will find
my flight tracking software one of the best out there. It's because
I'm working with the most extensive open network ADS-B Exchange which
is practically the best coverage for flight tracking that doesn't
block any corporate execs.

    We all know FlightAware and FlightRadar24, but they censor many
flights of corporate execs. My software doesn't. The rapid increase in
Twitter followers proves hundreds of thousands of people who want this
data," Sweeney told us.

A question we have for Sweeney: What's your endgame? Instead of asking
for a Model 3, shoot for the stars and ask for a Plaid.
