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.

He initially sought a seat on the board of directors before agreeing to buy the
social media platform outright.

He paid an astonishing $44 billion for the money-losing business in October
2022.

After taking over and giving himself the title of “Chief Twit,” he quickly
ousted Agrawal, along with most other executives and more than half the
company’s employees.

But more importantly, Musk finally suspended @ElonJet – alongside with several
journalists.

Sweeney began posting again roughly 24 hours after Musk threatened legal action.

The college student laughed it off, calling out Musk’s “bluff.”

“I do think it’s a bluff, but we’ll have to see,” Sweeney told The Post at the
time.

Musk “unsuccessfully petitioned Agrawal to remove a Twitter account that was
tracking his private plane,” author Wagner claims.

“It’s hard to say.”

Much like his relaxed attitude over the billionaire’s threats, he’s not scared
of Swift, also a billionaire, either.

“Her team thinks they can control the world,” he told the Washington Post.

Swift’s reps have accused him of threatening her safety by posting her
locations.

The pop star has had several experiences with stalkers, most recently a New York
City man who was arrested outside her Tribeca apartment last month and found
mentally “unfit” to stand trial.

Unable to get the plane spotting account suspended, Musk began looking to
acquire the whole business, which he bought for an astonishing $44 billion in
October 2022.

“We cannot comment on any ongoing police investigation, but can confirm the
timing of stalkers suggests a connection,” Swift publicist Tree Paine told The
Post.

Swift has since sold one of her private jets.
