ORLANDO, Fla. – Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the U.S. and its allies have responded by sanctioning wealthy individuals close to the Kremlin.
Now, the Florida teen tracking Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s private jet has a new target -- Vladimir Putin and wealthy Russian business leaders called Oligarchs.
Recently, 19-year-old Jack Sweeney launched two new Twitter handles -- Putin Jet and RU Oligarch Jets.

The two Twitter accounts provide updates showing nearly live locations of aircraft associated with Putin and the Oligarchs.
Musk had offered Sweeney $5,000 to stop tracking him -- but the teen refused and told Musk he wanted a new tesla model three instead.
Jack is a Freshman at the University of Central Florida.
