Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Twitter temporarily shut down Twitter accounts tracking Elon Musk's private jet this week. Jack Sweeney, the account owner and a student at the University of Florida, said in an interview that he was not worried about Musk's threat to sue him, saying "it was a complete bluff."

Sweeney, now 20, said he had been "talking to some people" about a possible lawsuit Musk might file. He said he'd watch for any mail.

"I do think it's bluff, but we have to pay attention," Sweeney said in an interview Thursday morning at his home."After all, it's hard to say.""We have to see if I get official notice. "

Sweeney, interviewed hours after his @Elonjet account was suspended on Twitter, said Musk was a "complete hypocrite." Musk recently tweeted threatening legal action against Sweeney.

Later Wednesday, Musk tweeted on social media that someone was driving a car with California license plates following the vehicle carrying his youngest son.

Musk tweeted: "Last night in Los Angeles, a car carrying Little X was targeted by a crazy stalker who thought it was me in the car. He later stopped the car and climbed onto the hood. "

Musk then appeared to suggest that Sweeney's account, which tracks the trajectory of his private jet, was shut down as a possible culprit. Musk wrote: "We are taking legal action against Sweeney and organizations that support harm to my family. "

In an interview Thursday, Sweeney derided suggestions that his Twitter account might be used to track Musk or his family.

"It was a car, not an airplane," Sweeney said. "And it happened 24 hours after the last tweet on my account, a long time apart. "It's trying to connect some crazy things. "

Sweeney believes Musk may have been retaliating against him for tweeting a screenshot of an internal Twitter Slack message, which Sweeney said he got from a Twitter employee.

Sweeney said: "A week after I posted the news that the account had been shadow banned by Twitter, a series of strange things happened. "

Asked if he thought Musk was taking revenge for Sweeney's public disclosure of Twitter's inside information, Sweeney said: "To me, this time is strange. "I don't know if it's true, but it's really weird for me," he said. "We already know that Musk is angry about people sharing inside information and he wants employees to sign a document guaranteeing that they won't leak information. "

Short Video posted on Twitter late Wednesday purportedly of car drivers stalking his youngest son. The video shows a man in black wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask on his face. Musk asked,"Does anyone know this person or this car?" "

Los Angeles police say they have no information about the incident.

Sweeney said his @Elonjet account would only tweet after the plane took off,"I don't give advance notice until takeoff. "

Twitter has also suspended Sweeney's account tracking private jets of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.
