Elon Musk’s Private Jet Tracker Moves to Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads
Jack Sweeney, the creator of the popular “ElonJet” account that tracked Elon Musk’s private jet in real time, has moved to Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter-rival Threads after being suspended from Twitter last year.
The suspension of the ElonJet account came after Musk warned users against “doxxing real-time location info” and referred to a “crazy stalker” following a car that carried his son.
Sweeney, in his first post on Thursday, declared that “ElonJet has arrived” on Threads, with the account handle @elonmusksjet having over 21,000 followers as of Saturday morning.
The ElonJet account had been popular among Musk fans, providing real-time updates on the billionaire’s private jet movements. It had been active since 2018, and had amassed over 200,000 followers on Twitter before it was suspended.
Sweeney has not commented on the reason for the suspension of the account, but it is believed that Musk’s legal threats against the account’s operator may have been a factor.
It remains to be seen if the ElonJet account will be as popular on Threads as it was on Twitter. However, the move to Threads is a reminder of the power of social media and the influence of tech billionaires like Musk and Zuckerberg.
