Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has asked Jack Sweeney, the Florida student tracing Elon Musk‘s private jet on Twitter, to continue this and share the same updates competing apps Bluesky and Nostr.
On Saturday, the two had a brief exchange on Bluesky via Sweeney’s jet tracking account. reports Insider.
“What do you think of ElonJet?” asked college student Dorsey. In response, the Twitter co-founder wrote: “Keep up the good work. Send updates here and to Nostr.”
Meanwhile, Sweeney was asked last week a podcast interview whether the interaction with his “hero” Musk was “disappointing”.
“Oh yeah, it was definitely different,” Sweeney said, adding that he plans to use artificial intelligence in the future.
Sweeney also revealed that Sweeney pursued airplanes as a child because his father used to work in the airline industry.

“Then I got interested in Elon Musk and where he was, what he was doing. And then I thought he had a private jet. And that I could follow him myself. But nobody really did. So I started doing it during my free time during COVID,” Sweeney said.
The Florida student said Musk offered him $5,000 to delete his account. Instead of accepting, Sweeney ask for a higher amount — $50,000 to be exact — and eventually got banned on Twitter.
Bluesky is a Dorsey powered Twitter alternative. It was originally incubated on Twitter in 2019, well before Elon Musk took over the company. Since then, Dorsey says Bluesky is a not-for-profit and “an open decentralized social media standard.”
In April 2022, with Dorsey on the board, Bluesky received $12 million in funding. The platform now has more than 60,000 users.
