The new Twitter account @DeSantisJet tracks the Florida governor’s air travel

A new Twitter account, @DeSantisJet, tracks Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s air travel on the state government jet.

Who’s behind it: 20-year-old Jack Sweeney, creator of the Twitter page tracking Elon Musk’s private jet.
* Sweeney aims to “share the information and make it available to everybody that might be interested.”

DeSantis’ air travel criticism: Governor DeSantis has been accused of using taxpayer-funded aircraft for campaign-like events.
* Nonprofit watchdog Integrity Florida reported that DeSantis blurred the lines between campaign activity and public duties, a claim the governor’s office denies.

The account’s limitations: @DeSantisJet flight tracking is delayed by one day, and it cannot guarantee that DeSantis is onboard the tracked flights.
* Sweeney may also attempt to track flights DeSantis takes on private planes of political donors.
