Elon Musk’s week just got worse

Published

on

After being suspended from Twitter last year, Jack Sweeney, the creator of the popular ElonJet account that tracks Elon Musk’s private jet in real time, has found a new home on Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter alternative, Threads.

Sweeney made his debut on Threads with a post that read, “ElonJet has arrived to Threads!” The account, @elonmusksjet, quickly gained traction and had amassed over 21,000 followers by Saturday morning.

ElonJet provides followers with updates on Musk’s private jet movements using publicly available data. However, in December of last year, Twitter, which is owned by Musk, suspended the ElonJet account.

Musk took offense to the account’s operator, accusing them of mistakenly following his son and referring to them as a “crazy stalker.” He even threatened legal action.

Threads, which is owned by Meta, presents a direct challenge to Twitter and attracted millions of users within hours of its launch. Prominent figures such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have joined the platform.

Threads aims to capitalize on Twitter’s recent tumultuous decision-making and capitalize on the weakened state of its rival.

Sweeney’s move to Threads allows him to continue providing real-time updates on Elon Musk’s private jet, satisfying the curiosity of those interested in tracking the tech billionaire’s movements.

As the platform gains popularity and draws in notable personalities, Sweeney’s account is poised to gather an even larger following, offering fans a unique glimpse into Musk’s jet-setting lifestyle.

As 2026 begins, markets face economic shifts; gold and silver soar, while energy and currencies impact global investors.


As 2026 begins, global markets face a mix of economic shifts and geopolitical tensions shaping currencies, commodities, and interest rates. The Federal Reserve’s next moves are under the microscope, and Zoran Kresovic from Blueberry Markets says understanding these changes is key for investors navigating the year ahead.

Gold and silver are hitting all-time highs, driven by market volatility and economic uncertainty. Kresovic notes that both metals are likely to continue climbing, remaining essential safe-haven assets amid inflation concerns.

Energy markets are also volatile, with crude oil prices rising amid geopolitical tensions. Meanwhile, the Australian dollar is showing strength against the U.S. dollar. Kresovic highlights that these trends in energy and currency markets can ripple across the global economy, making them critical for investors to watch.

S&P 500 hits all-time high amid Fed scrutiny; Trump’s credit card cap proposal raises investor concerns over bank profits.


The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high, with the Nasdaq climbing 0.5% while the Dow Jones held steady. This comes amid news of a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Despite the scrutiny, analysts believe short-term interest rates and inflation are unlikely to be impacted.

Meanwhile, Trump’s proposal to cap credit card rates at 10% for a year sparked concern among investors about potential effects on lending and bank profitability. Major bank stocks reacted sharply, with Citigroup down 3% and Capital One falling 6%.

In commodities, gold futures rose 2%, reflecting fears that political pressure on the Fed could challenge its ability to manage inflation effectively.
