The college student who tracks Elon Musk’s private jet use is back—on Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads

The Twitter account that once provided real-time updates on the location of Elon Musk’s private jet, before it was suspended by Musk, then forced to post time-delayed information, has now landed at Twitter rival Threads.

Jack Sweeney, the University of Central Florida student who created the account, reintroduced the real-time tracker Thursday and has already amassed more than 14,000 followers. So far, though, either Musk has stayed on the ground or Sweeney has yet to hook up the bot that uses public data to reflect the aircraft’s location. No updates have been posted.
