Too Long; Didn't Read

A teen created a Twitter profile with the sole purpose of tracking Elon Musk's private jet with a bot using public data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Elon eventually found out and offered $5K "to teen to stop tracking his private jet location on Twitter" because "it is a security risk." The teen asked for $50,000 for school and a Tesla car. Musk said it "Doesn't feel right to pay to shut this down" and encouraged the teen to accept offers of Bitcoin he's received from others to keep the account open instead.
