Tesla CEO Elon Musk offered $5,000 to a 19-year-old to shut down a Twitter account that tracks his private flights, the teenager told Protocol.
Jack Sweeney runs 15 flight-tracking accounts using a bot he created that automatically posts when a celebritys flight leaves or lands at an airport.
Sweeneys account tracking Musks flights has the most followers, with more than 97,000, and its popularity led Musk to send a direct message to Sweeney.

I dont love the idea of being shot by a nutcase, Musk said in the message, offering $5,000 for Sweeney to take it down, according to Protocol.

Any chance to up that to $50k? It would be great support in college and would possibly allow me to get a car maybe even a Model 3, Sweeney responded back.

I believe hedge funds pay money for this sort of stuff to predict markets.
