The teenager who runs a account that tracks Musk's private jet said that he's made back up plans in case the page is pulled after the billionaire acquires the social media platform.
Jack Sweeney, the 19-year-old who became famous after Musk offered him $5,000 to remove his @ElonJet Twitter account earlier this year, sent a list of other platforms where people can track the plane.
The teen was concerned after it was announced that Musk was buying the company. The acquisition is not expected to close until later this year, but Sweeney expressed uncertainty over the future of his account if Musk eventually takes control of the firm.
If he considers the security of the company to be more important than a critic, then I will probably leave.

Sweeney said he was going to make a Telegram channel to let people know about the jet's movements. He said that people can check out where Musk's jet is on his social media pages.
The teen tagged Musk on Monday, saying that negotiations don't have to be over and that he's still willing to take his account down.
Musk asked Sweeney to take down the account that tracked his private jet because it was a security risk.
Sweeney told Insider that he turned down Musk's offer of $5,000 in exchange for removing the account because he enjoys his job. He suggested raising the figure to $50,000, which he said he could use to purchase a Model 3.
