  Billionaire Elon Musk reportedly offered a smart teenager $5,000 to take down a Twitter bot account that tracks the movement of his private jet but the teenager wants something else instead.

19-year-old Jack Sweeney who is a freshman at the University of Central Florida asked for an internship to remove the @ElonJet account that posts updates about the movement of Musk’s plane. This is after Musk admitted that it ‘doesn’t feel right to pay him to take it down.
After initially requesting $50,000 from the billionaire to take the account down, according to DailyMail, Sweeney has decided to settle for an internship at either Tesla or SpaceX but he is yet to get a reply from Elon Musk.
