Jack Sweeney, a UCF student, gained fame for tracking Elon Musk’s private jet usage on social media. Musk banned Sweeney from Twitter for doxxing real-time locations. Undeterred, Sweeney continued posting flight information on other platforms. Taylor Swift also sent Sweeney a letter threatening legal action for sharing her flight data.
