What Happened: Jack Sweeney started a Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR) account that tracks the movement of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk.
Sweeney shared that his recent Freedom of Information Act request has been approved, which could help if any legal objections arise over his jet tracking.
“My FAA FOIA request went thru. Now I have all the registration and airworthiness documents for all the SpaceX jets,” Sweeney said Feb. 5. The tweet suggests he could track SpaceX jets in the future.
“My FOIA doesn’t mean I have their (FAA) approval. I requested that FOIA before my news went public, only just recently received the documents,” Sweeney tweeted in response to a Teslarati article.
Along with tracking Musk’s jet, Sweeney tracks private jets of Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and Mark Cuban.
