According to a report, Sweeney says he is ready to stop the pursuit musk Private jet on one condition.

“If he lets me fly on his jet, record it and talk about it — and maybe don’t even pay me the $50,000.” [previously asked for] – I would take it down,” Sweeney said via the Twitter account dedicated to tracking Musk’s jet, according to the New York Post. “That’s still up for discussion.”

Musk used to have offered Sweeney $5,000 to shut down Twitter account. In response, the teenager had made a counter offer of $50,000 or an internship with him.
