A 19 year old UCF student is tracking Elon Musk’s jet, and Musk is not happy.

I searched, but didn’t see this posted. It’s pretty interesting. Musk did carry on a bit of a back and forth with the student over the tracking bot Twitter account that was following the flights of his private jet.

Big baby

Musk is being a baby. Every research firm already tracks his jet. It’s why GC’s have to fly commercial when doing deals.

Really surprised this isn't a Pepsi.

Musk offered him a whole $5,000 to stop it? Really????

That's like the amount of change you might find under Musk's couch cushions.

Bad form, Elon.

$5k is probably less than the time it took to tweet the offer.

He’s at $23k a minute.

Can’t you track any plane on website if you know tail numbers ?

I guess you can pay to stay off those live tracking websites?

Lol, glad the guy said no.

I can't remember the stat, or where I read/saw it, the dude makes over a million an hour. Maybe it was Bezos, but I can't recall.

I'll never have sympathy for billionaires

One of these days, people are going to figure out that Elon Musk is full of s***. He's made a great deal of money selling fantasy and other people's ideas.

I do not understand the hate for Musk. I know he pals around with Joe Rogan and has Twitter battles with Elizabeth Warren, but I don’t think the guy is a Conservative either. Plus, who cares if he is? The guy is a modern day Thomas Edison and all the non-contributing keyboard warriors want to hate on him. It’s weird.

He has got plenty of money. He just needs to buy several private jets and make sure they all fly every day to random locations. Some he might be on and some he might not.

The left hates everybody. If you are not marching exactly with them they lose their shit.

Musk would be more offended that you compared him to Thomas Edison.

Why do you hate people on the Autism spectrum?

A whole bunch of people in our culture hate the extremely wealthy. And well he is extremely wealthy.

If anyone has earned super wealth based on their contributions it is Musk and Bezos, IMO.

Yes, just like Tomas Edison.....

Comparing the CEO of a company, named after Nikola Tesla, to Thomas Edison is humorous on a couple of levels.

Congressional Republicans respectfully disagree. - signed Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger

I don't hate him. I do wish he'd stop saying goofy stuff on shareholder conference calls, and I wish he wouldn't call random people pedos on Twitter.

Musk should pay the kid nothing and not worry about it.
