Despite threats of legal action from the richest man in the world, the guy behind an account giving live updates on the location of Elon Musk has simply hopped over to new kid on the block, Threads
The bloke who tracked Elon Musk’s private jet and got banned from Twitter, is setting up again on the new competitor Threads.
Jack Sweeney posted on the new rival platform from Mark Zuckerberg: “ElonJet has arrived to Threads!”
Going by the name @ElonMusksJet, he picked up 15,000 followers in the first 24 hours alone.
Some 30million people are thought to have joined the platform since it was opened on July 6.
Speaking to Insider, Sweeney said: “I would like to post on Threads just as I do on Instagram.”
Meta hasn’t yet created an auto-publication feature, but Sweeney hoped he would be able to take advantage of this one day as he will have to work manually until then.
He first started tacking the private jet of the Twitter owner in 2020 with his @ElonJet account racking up some half a million subscribers.
He’s also managed to track celebrities like former US President Donald Trump, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian – and he even did one on Zuckerberg himself.
Musk weighed in on the conversation at the time, saying: “Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation.
