Elon Musk offered a Twitter user $ 5,000 to stop tracking his private jet, Business Insider reported.
Elon’s Jet’s profile shows the routes of Musk’s private jet, using programs that monitor publicly available air traffic data.
The owner of the account is 19-year-old Jack Sweeney. He received a message from Musk last fall asking him not to show the route of his private jet. “Can you download this? Security risk,” Musk was quoted as saying by the news site. Protocol.
The young man replied that he could do it and joked that it would cost him an Model 3 electric car.
Musk offered Sweeney $ 5,000 after a short chat, Protocol said, but the young man began negotiating $ 50,000, saying it would be “college support” and possibly buying a new car, “maybe even Tesla Model 3 “.
Earlier this month, Musk wrote on Twitter that social media accounts that track his location “are becoming a security issue.”
It is not yet clear whether the head of the electric car company has agreed to the deal offered by the boy.
