The flight-tracking handles are operated by a bot that Sweeney created that mines publicly available flight data that tracks the movement of private jets. Another flight-monitoring handle that tracks support aircraft working for NASA is also functioning as per normal, according to Sweeney. He said the attention he has received from the public has been gratifying, and that making money was not his prime motivation for operating the flight-tracking handles.
Earlier this week, Sweeney told The Post that he believed the @Elonjet handle was “shadow-banned” by the site.
