So that conversation Elon had with “Adrian” was a fake?
I don’t believe it tbh. One slipped pronoun isn’t a lot to go on. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the same person and it was an elaborate ruse the entire time, but I’m not convinced yet.
This is not the first time he was caught with a sock puppet. And I can confuse the names of people a lot and call the wrong name but I never referred to myself when talking about someone else, and I never see or heard about It either. It is not a simple mistake, It is too different cognitive speaking I think.
So I do admire what Tesla and SpaceX are doing and I’ll watch various things on the topic.
I was watching one where Ron Barron was doing an interview with Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s COO, and he only referred to SpaceX as if it was his.
I know he’s a big investor in it, but it drove me nuts.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that anywhere else, ever.
Like, I guess I’m developing the worlds best AI chips since I own an ETF with NVIDIA?
BBC News’ reporting on Starship launches always says things like “Elon Musk’s Rocket” and it makes me want to write a strongly worded email of complaint
Did he have a voice call with his other sock puppet? No? Oh okay. Thanks for chirping in.
People fuck up pronouns all the time, congrats on being above that genius.
Okay, Elon

This kind of behavior is alarming. When this mFer crashes and burns he’s taking as many people with him as possible. Maybe even all of western civilization.
Makes you wonder what other stupid shit he’s up to that we don’t know of yet. Man is completely deranged and it would be sad if it wasn’t so dangerous.
I mean, blocking Ukrainians from using Starlink at key moments at the request of Putin is surely a start.
The man is a freak. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s as depraved and sick as Epstein was.

He did it on the last bastion of free speech on the internet!
It’s even dumber that his nom de sputum, is almost certainly a Resident Evil 4 reference. 🙄
Hopefully he speedruns himself into a hole in the ground
This guy’s autism is becoming palpable.
What has autism got to do with it? Sounds like you want to use what these days is considered a slur but don’t have the spine to do it.
I don’t know what you’re babbling about. What autism has to do with it is his public admission of Asperger’s. You thinking autism is a slur sounds like your issue, not mine.
Fine, I’ll do it. Elon Musk is retarded. Not autistic, though if he is on the spectrum that has nothing to do with it.
The guy is fucking slow. He’s the stupidest “smart” person. He may be brilliant at making money, but holy fuck does this guy hang out in the shallow end of the intellectual pool.
I’ve met birds with a better understanding of cause and effect.
Good at making money implies low morality not high intelligence and in fact iirc they’re oppositely correlated.
Good at stealing it. Making money sounds like he’s earned it somehow.
I like you. You can be easily manipulated.
True for most people, unfortunately </3
It’s so hilarious how trumpkin turned on his base for musk, fuck your good paying american jobs going to american born citizens, fuck your education, we want underpaid immigrants and tax cuts while cutting social security.
I don’t think he turned on his base for musk, I think he was always lying just to get their vote. He’s a massive piece of shit that only cares about “what is good for Trump?” He doesn’t give a flying fuck or two shits from a rats ass what the base wants at all.
Trump has always just spouted talking points and word salad until something gets a good reaction and that becomes the new mantra and even government policy. Things that had a bad reaction are put in the “I never said that” box.
It’s surprisingly how much this resembles how an AI generates images. It starts with random noise and refines that into a clear image that matches the criteria.
I fucking WISH Trump was anywhere near as coherent as an LLM
Doesn’t he have enough money to just pay people to setup friendly accounts? I hate Musk’s ass, but if he wants to put me on his payroll to kiss his ass on the internet, I’m for sale. $200k/year and I will sing his praises far and wide.
Haha I got a good laugh XD. But seriously though, I wouldn’t propagandize for that monster to set me up for life.
I shudder to imagine how much of yourself would erode over time, being a flattering mouthpiece for, and being bankrolled by, such an evil villain.
Personally, I’ll keep my struggles lol.
This hypothetical situation reminds me of some passages that have stuck with me for life:
“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” (Proverbs 22:1)
““For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36 NASB)
I shudder to imagine how much of yourself would erode over time, being a flattering mouthpiece for, and being bankrolled by, such an evil villain.
Are you familiar with the mouth of Sauron?
He’ll get someone on an H1B Visa to do it for $45k
Hell get someone for $45
…i hear that in south asia, twenty dollars is twenty dollars…
45k still double what I’m making ill do it fuck it
Or ~5 times my salary 🥲
Gotta love the brazilian real devaluation
$200k a year could buy an entire army of bots and trolls. He doesn’t need to bother with paying individual people, when a company with borderline slave labor will do it en masse for a penny per post.
His ego is way too big for that so he needs to trick himself into strong enough cognitive dissonance and he gets that by buying people of indirectly. Tale as old as time.
He’s got literally no humans or animals that like him. He already is paying people for this job. He bought Twitter to be his friend so he could spend all his free time on there which is a lot and it won’t look as weird since he owns it. Guys brain is more cooked than a nfl player with cte.
He bought Twitter because he wanted to pump the stock up, presumably so that he could dump his stock. The timeline is that Elon talked about taking Twitter private, paying 420$ per share, because 420 is the funny marijuana number. Twitter’s board then agreed to the buyout, since Elon’s offer was far more than what the company was actually worth. Elon tried to weasel out of the deal, but Twitter successfully sued him to force him into buying Twitter.
That’s not how taking Twitter private works… What are you 5?
Then how does it work? Enlighten me.
Except that’s what happened. Go home, Russian bot.
I don’t think the guy has any friends, so no.
Make him mad enough to cause a stroke to wipe out his smug shit eating attitude
Alright, I just woke up so I might not see the obvious, but apart from the almost surreal butt licking, what is the sign (proof?) here that this Dittman’s account is actually Elon’s? Sorry, I have never used Twitter or X.
He made a lot of critical errors because he doesn’t understand that for a sock puppet to be effective in the long run, it has to do 3 things:
-
it has to post regularly
-
it has to post differently than you do. If it disagrees with you broadly that’s even better.
-
It can only show up in your defense at critical moments and with almost visible hesitancy e.g. “I am a huge critic of Musk, especially on [issue A], but on this [Issue B] I actually think he makes a salient point.”
You get the most use out of sock puppets by letting them moderate your position to make it more palatable to the public without actually having to moderate your position.
Anything less than the 3 above makes it a liability. Especially when you sloppily juggle several.
So instead of sock puppet he just demoted himself to “ban evading forum troll on the website he bought.” LOL
Honestly I’m surprised he doesn’t have like five minions doing this for him.
This sounds like a headache. I can barely juggle my account, I can’t imagine two or more.
I once tried to have a throwaway “talk crap about my job account” but it got a little boring and didn’t even provide catharsis since nobody engaged with it lol.
When you’re a petulant billionaire you think you can do these things effectively.
More evidence CEOs really don’t do much: He has the time to do this, despite being CEO of how many companies?
richest man in the world can’t be bothered to hire a couple of flunkies to sock puppet for him.
jfc…
To have that, you need people you actually trust.
Elon musk trusts no one. His circle is a bunch of yes men who have willingly sold their soul to agree with whatever crazy shit Musk wants.
Musk is smart enough to know that. While also not smart enough to build a team he fully trusts.
See while I don’t agree with your argument on his critical errors, you make a salient point on the list of things required to pull sock puppeting off.
Bravo lol
This guy fucks
Someone’s read speaker for the dead 🤣
Locke vs demonsthenes
Ha at least it was two (highly coordinated) people!

This link where he’s playing Dittman and he says something along the lines of “her problem was clearly not with the product but with Elon because I was the first thing she posted about.”
Also, in this article’s sound clip, you can hear the similarities. Elon was not on this call, that was “Dittman”.
Ahhahaha, thanks for the context! This is hilariously bad from his part.
Where’s the voicechanger? That’s just clearly Elon.
I’ve worked in a taxi dispatch taking hundreds of calls a day for some years and even though I do say so myself, I think I have a pretty good ear.
And his… I don’t know what to even call it, but like there’s this very specific sound when he speaks. Creaking sort of.
This is very clearly him. Is that supposed to be through a voicechanger? Because maybe I’ve not listened to him in any media for a while so I don’t remember the tone and that doesn’t seem weird to me for that reason, but it’s just very unmistakably Elon, lol.
I can’t believe I am better at faking identities than Elon
So he hasn’t even the mental capacity to keep an act up, without his narcissism interfering?
Wow… let that sink in…
His narcissism is why he was doing it in the first place.
Adrian sounded exactly like him, he bragged about paying the most taxes of anyone, and when he got exposed other people went and listened to other archived spaces he was involved with and a couple of times in $TSLA chats he slipped up and used “we” and “I” statements referring to Musk and Tesla. Elon is known to and has been proven to use alt accounts on Twitter, and consider the subsequent bans, if it’s not him why is he so sensitive.
Thanks for context, this is indeed horribly childish.
I’m glad that such a mature, well-adjusted person is running my country right now.
Hey, he bought and paid for it fair and square. He can run it into the ground as hard and fast as he wants.

Fr tho, who the fuck claims to have a ‘favorite letter’ to even begin with? Talk about the cringelord final boss…
I have a favourite letter. It was one of my resignation letters. Paraphrasing what it said at its core “I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed working here and that I would miss the wise and intelligent guidance I received while employed here. Unfortunately my mother raised me not to lie, so I won’t.”
I still love that letter.
Of course it contained a great deal more content than “X”. (I mean seriously, he couldn’t even add “O” to the mix?)
Nice!
At breaking free of my last job after way too many years I used:
“To whom it may concern, I’m writing this letter to inform yiu that your employment services will no longer be required. . . However feel free to reach out for my consultant rates…”
I then quoted Maya Angelou: “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” (HR person said she liked this quote. I think my usage of it whooshed over LOL)
And pretty sure I sealed the deal with “So long and thanks for all the fish!”
(It was a library lmao)
But “X”? That’s stupid. Unless there’s buried treasure under it.
Now that we know this one. Can we find him talking and answering himself?
I really can’t stop laughing at this
I was verbose when I saved this one.
Ooof that’s sad
Elon exposed himself.
There’s an image that can not leave my head soon enough.
Does this mean we’re all getting horses?
No, Vermin Supreme didn’t get elected :(. We’ll get those ponies one day.
U gotta crank his hog for that
Shareholders gotta love that.
Orly? Thought his alt account was ‘Leroy Jenkins’?
Why would he make a social media account under a fake name, instead of using his real name but make everyone think it’s an unverified parody account to say whatever he wants and never get suspected?
It’s not that bloody difficult.
Yes. How very Ken of him.
Yes, however you see the issue here is that you have an IQ higher than room temperature water, and muskrat does not.
He couldn’t even invent a vaguely clever ploy. That fucking brainlet just took the resources available to him and assembled the most basic bitch plan ever, “Hur dur fake account, but add voice changer.” Further proof that Elon Musk is a fucking idiot who couldn’t invent his way out of a wet paper bag.
