The other day, we reported that Elon Musk offered money to the young man who created a bot that followed his private jet step by step, and the young man rejected this offer and made a counter offer worth 10 times. Jack Sweeney, just 19, shared it on the platform with the Twitter bot he created, every time Elon Musk’s private jet landed or took off, along with its location.
Elon Musk naturally offered Sweeney $5,000 due to privacy and security concerns. However, Sweeney did not find this offer sufficient and asked for 50 thousand dollars. Although the teenager has not yet received a response from Musk, the teenager explained that he now sees the opportunity in this not-so-ethical way. Sweeney will establish a platform that will allow the private jets of other billionaires to be followed, as well as Musk.
An industry with millions of dollars flying in the air:

Turning private jet tracking into a business opportunity is actually not a serious thing at all. Huge companies like Nasdaq Data Link have actually been offering this tracking job to their customers for money for a variety of purposes for a long time now. Continuing from Nasdaq Data Link, the platform allows you to learn in advance of important developments in the business world and the news that may come, by allowing you to follow where important people are going.
This is exactly how Sweeney decided to set out and started his attempt to establish a company called ‘Ground Control’. In his statement, Sweeney stated that while flight tracking platforms earn millions of dollars every year, only a small part of these millions of dollars will be sufficient income for him.
On the other hand, according to some experts, the era of taking flight data from various platforms and selling them to customers for thousands of dollars has come to an end. Colby Howard, the head of JetTrack, which provides this type of service, said of this business model, “The days of the cowboy when you scraped data and sold it for hundreds of thousands of dollars are long gone.” used the phrases.
