The college student who tracks Elon Musk’s private jet was apparently permanently banned by Twitter on Wednesday, according to an email he shared with Insider.
Jack Sweeney told Insider on Wednesday that he was notified his personal account had been banned by Twitter several hours after the social media company took down his account that tracks Musk’s jet, @ElonJet. His more than 30 other accounts that track celebrities’ private jet travel — including Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, and Kim Kardashian — also were suspended several hours after @ElonJet.
« I really didn’t think he’d suspend my personal account, » Sweeney told Insider, speaking about Twitter honcho Elon Musk. « I didn’t think he’d do anything because of all the media attention he’d get. »
Insider was interviewing Sweeney about his jet-tracking account’s ban when Sweeney realized his personal account also had been banned. He got the email from Twitter that confirmed his personal account’s ban while he was on the phone with Insider.
« This guy is fucking ridiculous — my God, » Sweeney said of Musk after he realized all 34 of his jet-tracking accounts had been banned.
