The college student behind the Twitter account tracking Elon Musk’s private jet, whose account was banned after the billionaire purchased that social media site, has started an account on Mark Zuckerberg’s new Twitter competitor, Threads.
Jack Sweeney is a 20-year-old rising junior at the University of Central Florida majoring in information technology. The Clermont native gained notoriety online for his Twitter account where he tracked Elon Musk’s private jet across the globe.
Sweeney’s father worked in aviation, so he began tracking his father’s flights through publicly available information. A fan of Elon Musk, he decided to begin tracking the billionaire’s flights as well.
