Interviewed by BloombergJack Sweeney revealed that he was impressed by the aircraft of the richest men in Russia: “The planes owned by these oligarchs are absolutely insanes”. The young man notably noticed that the latter travel in commercial-sized aircraft such as Airbus A319s and Boeing 737s. “Their planes are huge compared to other jets“, he added.
At the end of 2020, Jack Sweeney made himself known on the internet after creating the Twitter account @ElonJet, on which he published all the movements of Elon Musk’s private plane. Ihe American billionaire had offered the teenager $5,000 to close his account, which Jack Sweeney did. He then made a counter-offer of $50,000, which Elon Musk refused.
Since then, the American billionaire has announced that he uses a blocking system that modifies the identifier of his jet, which makes it more difficult to follow. It is therefore not impossible that the Russian oligarchs followed by Jack Sweeney are considering a similar measure.
