Sweeney Todd’s flying squad

A Twitter bot created by a college student is tracking the movements of 46 jets owned or leased by more than 20 Russian oligarchs and sending updates to ADS-B Exchange, "a site that collects data from aviation enthusiasts who run their own equipment to monitor airplane movements.

This is the second bot created by Jack Sweeney, the 19-year-old University of Central Florida student. Sweeney runs @ElonJet, which tracks the movements of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's private jet.

Musk grew annoyed with the attention and sent Sweeney a DM on Twitter, offering him $5,000 to shut the account down. Sweeney countered by asking for a Model 3, then $50,000, then an internship.
Sweeney explained to Musk where his bot sourced its data, which is all publicly available. So far, Musk hasn't taken him up on any of the counter-offers.
