Elon Musk bought Twitter because the account tracking his private jet annoyed him, book says – Quartz
Posted: February 16, 2024 at 4:26 pm
Twitter is one of the internets favorite places for internet beef and Elon Musk is no stranger to it. A particular beef involving a college student tracking his private jet was the catalyst for the billionaire purchasing shares of Twitter, commencing his takeover of the social media platform, according to a new book about the ordeal.

Musk had also unsuccessfully petitioned Agrawal [CEO of Twitter at the time] to remove a Twitter account that was tracking his private plane, says an excerpt from Battle for the Bird, a new book on Musks takeover, published by Bloomberg on Thursday. The billionaire started buying Twitter shares shortly after Agrawal denied his request.
The new book is a detailed investigation into the power struggle at Twitter, now called X, in the last few years. The book seems to confirm that Musks personal gripes played a key role in his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform.
Musk touts free speech as the main reason he bought Twitter, but the billionaire was actively trying to silence a college student he had a feud with before he was CEO. A Twitter account tracking Elon Musks private jet, @elonjet, was front of mind for the billionaire in Jan. 2022 when Musk started buying stock in the company, according to a tweet from the books author Kurt Wagner.
Nearly a year later, Musks acquisition was complete and he ended up banning @elonjet. The person behind the account, Jack Sweeney, is a college student whos now famous for tracking the private jets of Musk and Taylor Swift. Sweeney simply amplifies publicly available flight information, but celebrities hate him.
Musk promised to not ban Sweeneys account a month before he did, crediting his commitment to free speech, even though the account posed a direct personal safety risk. Sweeney now operates @elonjet on Threads.
The billionaires feud with Sweeney is a case study of Musks motivating factors. Yes, free speech is important to him, but not as important as getting his way. Buying Twitter made Musk king of the sandbox, and hes certainly exercised that control in the year since.
Musks acquisition of Twitter has always been confusing. Its widely been seen as a misstep for the billionaire, distracting him from other projects at Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. Musk was heavily focused on promoting right-wing speech when he bought Twitter, which was lacking under Jack Dorseys management, but also on settling his internet beef.

Elon Musk opposes aid to Ukraine, says Putin can’t lose Bloomberg – Yahoo News
Posted: at 4:26 pm
Elon Musk believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot lose in the war. He has also opposed the approval of assistance to Ukraine.

The discussion was joined by opponents of the draft law on further assistance to Ukraine to combat the full-scale Russian invasion.
Elon Musk said that "there is no way in hell" Vladimir Putin could lose the war in Ukraine. He said this in response to the words of one of the speakers, who said that people who expect victory in Ukraine are "living in a fantasy world".
Commenting on the assistance to Ukraine from the United States, the billionaire said that it is ineffective.
"This spending does not help Ukraine. Prolonging the war does not help Ukraine," Elon Musk said about the bill which provides further assistance to Ukraine.
Elon Musk also drew attention to the fact that he is often accused of defending the Russian president. However, in his opinion, this accusation is "absurd". In this context, the billionaire added that his companies "have probably done more to undermine Russia than anything". This, of course, is not true because, in addition to activating the Starlink satellite and transferring a limited number of terminals at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the contribution of Musk's companies to the "undermining" of Russia is minimal. After all, neither Tesla, with its electric vehicles, nor SpaceX, did not cause problems for the Russian raw material economy.
The billionaire also believes that Vladimir Putin is being pressured to bring the war to an end because "if he were to back off, he would be assassinated".
The businessman noted that his interest is to stop the death of people on both sides. However, he expressed doubt that seeking to remove Vladimir Putin is a wise decision.
"For those who want regime change in Russia, they should think about who is the person that could take out Putin, and is that person likely to be a peacenik? Probably not," Elon Musk said.
In his opinion, such a person will likely be "even more hardcore than Putin".
Background: Last year, a scandal broke out due to Elon Musk's unilateral decision to not activate Starlink near Crimea. The incident occurred in 2022 and became known from an excerpt out of a biographical book about the billionaire.
