Elon Musk bought Twitter after then-CEO refused to ban billionaire’s jet tracking account: book
NY Post
The Chief Twit may just live up to his title!
An upcoming book, “Battle for the Bird,” claims that Elon Musk began trying to acquire Twitter after former CEO Parag Agrawal denied his request to shut down @ElonJet.
The account, run by Jack Sweeney, uses publicly available information to track Musk’s private jet, annoying the father of 11.
Sweeney runs many accounts that track high-profile people -like Taylor Swift, who threatened to sue the college student.
Musk “unsuccessfully petitioned Agrawal to remove a Twitter account that was tracking his private plane,” Bloomberg reporter Kurt Wagner claims in an excerpt of his book, posted to Bloomberg News.
Musk began buying Twitter shares shortly afterward, which led him to having conversations with founder Jack Dorsey.
