Jet-Tracking Whiz Arrested: The College Student Who Defied Elon Musk and Zuckerberg Faces Shocking Consequences
Jack Sweeney, the college student famous for tracking the private jets of tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, has reportedly been arrested.
Sweeney gained notoriety for creating automated accounts that publicly shared flight data of high-profile individuals, including Musk’s private jet. Despite receiving legal threats and offers from Musk to stop the activity, Sweeney refused and continued tracking flights on alternative platforms after his accounts were suspended on X (formerly Twitter).
His arrest has raised questions, particularly because Sweeney had recently moved his jet-tracking activities to Meta’s Threads, following Musk’s acquisition of X. While Musk had expressed concerns about the safety risks posed by the public disclosure of his movements, Sweeney defended his actions as legal, citing the publicly available flight data he used. Fans and followers are eagerly awaiting more details on the circumstances surrounding his arrest and its implications for digital privacy and freedom of information.
