💰❌ A Florida teen has rejected $5,000 from Elon Musk to delete a Twitter account that tracks Musk’s private jet.
19-year-old Jack Sweeney runs the account ElonJet, where a bot developed by the teen monitors the billionaire’s flights. The account has more than 200,000 followers.
📌 Elon Musk reportedly first wrote to Sweeney in November asking him to take ElonJet down due to a “security risk”.
📌 He later offered the young man $5,000 to help prevent “crazy people” from tracking his flights — but Sweeney, in turn, demanded $50,000.
📌 The teenager eventually gave Musk technical advice on how to counter the tracking programs, CNN Business reported. The outlet stressed, however, that Sweeney is still able to track Musk’s flights.
“It's just a bit more complicated”, it quoted him as saying.

📺 Psaki shrugs off crime concerns as part of ‘alternate universe’
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki brushed off concerns about liberal cities’ soft-on-crime policies, joking on a left-leaning podcast that media coverage of violence in major cities like New York came from an “alternate universe.”
During her interview, Psaki read the chyrons of various cable news shows off the TVs in what appeared to be her White House office.
“She may feel safe in the White House, one of the most protected buildings in the United States, but not everyone feels safe in their workplace,” Patrick Yoes, president of the National Fraternal Order of Police, said in a statement.
