Jack Sweeney and Elon Musk.
  • The student who tracks Elon Musk's private jet said his Facebook page was taken down on Wednesday.
  • Jack Sweeney said Facebook cited "impersonation" for the decision, which he didn't understand.
  • He said he would appeal against Facebook's decision and try to get his account restored.

The college student who tracks Elon Musk's private jet said his Facebook page was taken down Wednesday for "impersonation."

In a text message exchange with Insider, Sweeney said he didn't know why the social media company had unpublished his page. "I don't know what it is – if it's because I'm using his name it's weird," he said.

The University of Central Florida student shared a screenshot of the notice he was sent, notifying him that his page had been "unpublished" because "Elon Musk's jet goes against our Community Standards on impersonation."
