He is tracking international billionaire businessman Alisher Usmanov and Leonid Mikhelson, the chairman of Russian gas producer Novatek.
Sweeney said he is stunned by the size of planes the Russian oligarchs are flying around the globe.
“The aircrafts these oligarchs have are absolutely crazy,” Sweeney said. “The country’s richest are traveling on commercial-sized aircrafts like an Airbus A319 and Boeing 737. Their planes are huge compared to other jets.”
Still tracking Elon Musk
The account is still live that’s tracking Elon Musk. But Sweeney says he was ultimately “ghosted” by the billionaire.
Sweeney said it was a surreal experience when he received a direct message from Musk, whom he described as his idol.
Musk had security concerns. “Can you take this down? It is a security risk,” Musk, DM’d the teenager. “I don’t love the idea of being shot by a nutcase.”
The billionaire even offered the teen $5,000 to delete his twitter account. But Sweeney was looking for a bigger payday; he wanted $50,000. And Musk backed-out of the negotiations.
