Until a few weeks back, 19-year-old Jack Sweeney's life was not as happening as it is right now. But the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster for this teenager.
Recently, the teenager has been in the limelight because SpaceX and??Tesla CEO Elon Musk found out that this college student was keeping a tab on his private life, along with other high-profile figures.?
Elon Musk is said to have reached out to him?as early as November 2021 and expressed concerns regarding the Twitter account Sweeney runs, called Elon Musk's Jet (@ElonJet), which was launched in June 2020.
Here's the pinned tweet on that profile.

And to stop the teenager from his shenanigans, Elon Musk had offered the teenager $5,000 (roughly ?. 3.75 lakh) to stop tweeting about his jets.?
However, the teenager Jack Sweeny turned down Musk's offer and instead demanded $50,000! (roughly ? 37.55 lakh).
The 19YO teenager said that the amount would cover his school fees and help him buy a Tesla car. The boy certainly has big dreams!
Although Jack Sweeney never intended to get into a standoff with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, that is what has apparently happened.
The teenager has now been blocked by Elon Musk on all social media accounts, after he turned down his offer of $5,000 and instead demanded a whopping $50,000 or at least an internship opportunity.
Reacting to this, Sweeney said, "You know, it's kinda strange, he wants it down and seems like he's really mad."

Earlier, Sweeney had also said, "I knew Musk had a plane, you know, as a fan of SpaceX and Tesla stuff. I thought the Elon Musk's Jet bot would reveal like where he's going and what business he's doing."
And the teenager isn't done yet. Jack also wants to make money by tracking other prominent billionaires including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
As per Sweeney "Companies in flight tracking have millions in revenue per year. Just a small cut of what they make would be good revenue for me."
The teenager further stated that the amount of time and dedication I have put into it is cool, like $5K isn't enough to drop it."
