New York (CNN Business)Jack Sweeney, a 19-year-old from Florida, rejected a $5,000 offer from Elon Musk to dexe his Twitter account that tracks the billionaire's private jet.

来自佛罗里达州的19岁少年杰克·斯威尼(Jack Sweeney)拒绝了埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk) 的5000美元(约合人民币3800元)要求他删除追踪这位亿万富翁私人飞机的推特账户的请求。

ElonJet has over 150,000 followers, and uses a bot that Sweeney developed to monitor Musk's flights. The feed then tweets out when and where the plane takes off or lands and the duration of each trip.
The college freshman has developed about a dozen other flight bot accounts that track the travels of high-profile tech titans, including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

ElonJet拥有超过15万名粉丝，并使用斯威尼开发的一个机器人来监控马斯克的飞行。
然后，该系统会在推特上发布飞机起飞或降落的时间和地点，以及每次飞行的持续时间。
这位大学新生还开发了大约12个飞行机器人账户，跟踪包括比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)和杰夫·贝佐斯(Jeff Bezos)在内的知名科技巨头的旅行。

The initial direct message from Musk came November 30, Protocol first reported.

《Protocol》首先报道称，马斯克于11月30日发出了最初的信息。

"Can you take this down?," Musk asked Sweeney. "It's a security risk."

“你能把这个拿下来吗?”马斯克问斯威尼。“这是一个安全风险。”

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO eventually offered the teenager $5,000 to help prevent "crazy people" from tracking his flights. Sweeney countered asking for $50,000, saying he could use the money for college and maybe a Tesla (TSLA) Model 3.

最终，这位特斯拉和SpaceX的首席执行官提出给这名少年5000美元，以帮助预防“疯子”跟踪他的航班。斯威尼则提出要5万美元，说他可以用这笔钱上大学，或许还可以买辆特斯拉Model 3。

"I don't love the idea of being shot by a nutcase," Musk said.
The last message exchange was Wednesday, Jan. 19, when Musk said it didn't feel right "to pay to shut this down." CNN Business has viewed the messages.

“我不喜欢被一个疯子打下来，”马斯克说。最后一次信息交流是在1月19日星期三，当时马斯克表示，“花钱关闭这个账号”感觉不太好。
CNN商业频道已经查看了这些信息。

"Options other than remuneration like an internship would make taking it down a lot easier," Sweeney replied. Musk has not yet responded.

斯威尼回答说:“除了实习这样的报酬之外，还有其他选择可以让它更容易关闭。”马斯克尚未做出回应。

CNN has reached out to SpaceX for comment.
Sweeney said he's been a fan of SpaceX since the first Falcon Heavy launch in 2018. His father works for an airline, fueling his interest in aviation.

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)已联系SpaceX寻求置评。
斯威尼表示，自2018年第一次猎鹰重型火箭发射以来，他一直是SpaceX的粉丝。他的父亲在一家航空公司工作，这激发了他对航空的兴趣。

"5,000 is not enough for how much I get out of it," Sweeney said. "It doesn't replace anything, like the enjoyment factor."
Sweeney did offer Musk some technical advice, telling the billionaire about a blocking program he could use to counter flight tracking programs.

斯威尼说:“5000美元不够弥补我从中得到的。”“它不能取代任何东西，比如享受的因素。”
斯威尼确实给马斯克提供了一些技术建议，告诉这位亿万富翁他可以用一个拦截程序来对抗飞行跟踪程序。

"It looks like he took that advice," Sweeney said, saying it appears Musk is currently using the blocking program.
So is Sweeney is still able to track Musk's flights despite the blocking program? "I am," Sweeney said. "It's just a bit more complicated."

“看起来他接受了这个建议，”斯威尼说，并表示马斯克目前似乎正在使用屏蔽程序。
那么，尽管有屏蔽程序，斯威尼还能跟踪马斯克的飞行吗?
“是的，”斯威尼说。
“只是有点复杂。”
