According to techspot, you may be familiar with the name Jack Sweeney. He is a young programmer known for creating a twitter account that tracks Elon Musk's private flights Now he has rediscovered another billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg's plane
As early as February this year, Sweeney, 19, created a Zucc jet account to track and share the latest information about the Gulfstream jet aircraft believed to be used by Zuckerberg. But a post in April confirmed that the jet with registration number n528ap was no longer used by the CEO of meta.
Sweeney confirmed in a new post that he found Zuckerberg's new plane. He linked the travel history of the plane to Zuckerberg's travel.
In April this year, the regulatory documents submitted by meta to the securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) showed that the company spent $27 million last year to protect Zuckerberg and his family. The money includes $1.6 million for the use of private aircraft for private travel. The document also shows that meta has paid for Zuckerberg's personal travel since March this year. One of its aircraft is operated by a charter company.
When Sweeney opened a twitter account to track Elon Musk's private flights, he got a lot of attention. He didn't like the idea of being shot by Sweeney because he didn't like it. Sweeney said he would delete it for $50000, but the world's richest man never wrote back to him after saying he would consider the proposal.
Sweeney also has accounts that track private flights of celebrities such as Mark Cuban and Bill Gates. He also tracked the yachts and private planes of Russian oligarchs, as well as a flight tracking the aircraft registered by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian dignitaries. The programmer previously said that he used robots to obtain public air traffic data.
Some Twitter users pointed to potential security risks in tracking billionaire aircraft information, but others praised Sweeney for creating these accounts.
