The student who tracks billionaires’ planes has a new adversary, perhaps even bigger than Elon Musk. It was in fact Taylor Swift who made him understand, through a lawyer, that she did not appreciate his activity.
Personalities don’t like to be followed. This is what student Jack Sweeney learned over time, who put the navigation routes of the planes of billionaires and celebrities online on X.com (formerly Twitter). A habit which at the time had earned him a ban from Elon Musk’s network, then upbeat against this tracking, which he considered dangerous. And he’s not the only one to have this opinion!
Taylor Swift plays the lawyers
After Elon Musk, it is the turn of the global singing star Taylor Swift to speak out against the activities of Jack Sweeney. And to do this, she asked her lawyers to put a little pressure on the Internet user. According to Washington Postthe latter in fact received an official letter last December.
This formal notice to cease its activity explains that the public tracking of Taylor Swift’s plane would have created ” direct and irreparable harm, as well as emotional and physical distress. » If the young man did not decide not to put an end to it, the star would not have ” no choice but to pursue all legal remedies. »
Elon Musk approves
Obviously, if there is one who is jubilant, it is Elon Musk. The billionaire had indeed been criticized by a certain number of people, who saw his crusade against Jack Sweeney as a contradiction to his speech on freedom of expression. He did not fail to make his support known.
“ Sweeney is a horrible human being. Taylor Swift is right to be concerned » he posted on X.com. The main person concerned, who continued his activity elsewhere on the networks, and in particular at the rival Threads, does not seem ready to stop.
In reaction to this legal action, he only wanted to comment in this way, in an email to The Verge : “ I think it’s important to note that I have no intention of causing harm. I actually think Swift has some good songs. I believe in transparency and public information. »
