That is so profoundly pathetic. My mouth fell open.
The extreme psychological issues behind using an alt account to try and soothe his own ego about his obvious shortcomings as a father, are in dire need of professional help.
Elon needs a quality shrink and far, far fewer ketamine self-medicating sessions.
Oh you don't need his word. Elon's "current" stepmother was his step sister. His father at least is a pedophilic groomer. That's just the tip of the ice berg too. That shitberg runs deep.
That she was four when she became Elon's stepsister is the worst part for me. If she had been an adult, even a young adult, when she and Errol met after he married her mother, it would have been sketchy (breaking the divide by two plus fourteen rule) but not in pedo territory. To have multiple children (Elon's half-siblings and also his step-nieces) with someone you raised as your own child since they were four... it's beyond.
He's wanted his kids a lot closer, physically, after the Luigi incident. It makes sense he's literally wearing one on his back. More surprising that he hasn't strapped one to his front as well.
Edit: note his self praise here is from 12 months ago. Didn't mean to be misleading.
You know people say the love for your child knows no boundaries? Well, I know Elon is only a few years older then me, but I say to him: "ok boomer, fuck you". He's just like my mom. Love knows no boundaries, as long as you fit into very specific extremily high expectations.
Because your kid doesn't want to see you again and changes their surname, maybe you failed as a father? Maybe the fault lies with you, not with them? Maybe, when all of your kids complain about you being a bad dad, as well as your exes, not all of your kids and exes are wrong, but you are? Maybe, when your youngest kid calls you a fucking monkey, you're a fucking monkey and should be ashamed AF... Or the entire world is wrong and you are right, because you're a narcissistic psychopath so there's no chance of you doing anything bad, ever.
He doesn't even think the fault is with his daughter, he thinks the woke education system did this to her, and she wouldn't be trans if it wasn't for them.
Like, he's denying who she is. It's like the other side of conversion therapy, they converted her to trans, and she's the victim.
Yeah I agree, allowing people to be who they are is disgusting. People should only be who I allow them to be, according to my standards. /s His daughter now is a victim of a society which allows her to be who she really is and not who Elon wants her to be. So society is to blame. "Because everyone should live by my standards, and if their standards are different, my standards will be better so they should change their standards." What a dumb fuck. His daughter is only a victim of Elon. As well as maaaaany others, and many more in the near future.
This is typical autism behavior where you expect immediate rewards for good behavior that has long term benefits, except he had the awareness to make a sock puppet account to give it to himself.
Not commenting on Musk, but here’s my advice to other people on the spectrum: allistic people don’t reward good behaviors immediately, sometimes they might not give any reward at all because they’re playing a completely different game. Reward yourself by giving yourself a personal and private treat for things you value, and don’t judge yourself based on others validation, or lack thereof. Set your own goals, live by your rules.
I haven’t heard a single peep of anyone getting paid by twitter since the first few checks went out. I don’t think he’s doing that anymore and it was always completely arbitrary who got paid (by which I mean it was only popular accounts that he liked).
Oh my fucking god. I only mostly read his tweets and quotes, never really hearing Musk talk much, especially not in a "debate". I didn't realize how incredibly childish, arrogant, and downright moronic he was in an argument. All he does is talk over a well-articulated point before the person could finish it by insulting the other party and laughing dumbly at his own joke as if he had made some sort of zinger. And the very few times he doesn't do that he uses blatant strawman arguments.
This is literally like a child yelling back "Oh yeah?Well, your face is stupid!" How the fuck is this person the richest person on Earth? He wouldn't even be able to keep a fast food employee job.
Actually, it also necessitates a minimal ability to play the sidelines, manipulate and trick people and a complete lack of morality to use those abilities. He didn't found Tesla. He stole it from its original founders by placing people who were loyal to him on the board.
Money can buy expensive voice modulation software, but it apparently can't buy one's way out of stupidity. Using the same speech patterns, grammar, inflection, and laugh... he really isn't the brightest spark in the tesla coil, is he?
He never had the right to use the name Tesla, especially because Tesla was the underdog in electricity that was burned by the same capitalism he’s championing. He’s hired very smart people and then thinks that by hiring said people he’s on their level, classic capitalist mistake
I don't know why, but I find it very funny that Elon is basically Edison and using Tesla's name and also that there's an underdog electric truck company named Edison motors that's basically making a fully electric semi with an onboard motor specifically because the dude got fucked on a Tesla semi.
Using the same speech patterns, grammar, inflection, and laugh... he really isn't the brightest spark in the tesla coil, is he?
To do otherwise would require the awareness that other people have different speech patterns. I'm surprised his narcissism let him think using a different name would influence people.
Welp, even with voice modulation "Adrian" sounds just like Elon. The speech patterns line up to the point I couldn't much tell he was using voice mod at all.
Yeah, he's citing Trump, talking about symbology and Baphomet armour, presenting half-baked arguments as if he has a video of Elon saying that was him. I mean, it probably was, but this reads like a conspiracy theory
I was arguing with people online that he's a piece of shit for years and kept getting downvoted by fanboys talking about him being Tony Stark.
This isn't some look how smart I was comment, I just assumed he was a piece of shit because he was a billionaire and I assume every billionaire is a piece of shit unless an overwhelming amount of evidence is presented.
Moral of the story is, never worship celebrities and certainly never worship billionaires, unless they are fictional ie batman, then you can like them since it's inconsequential.
I don't think you need to have the stipulation for evidence about billionaires not being shit. I don't think you can be a billionaire without being shit. If you have that much money and aren't giving it away, you're a bad person. That's ignoring how you got it in the first place, which basically requires unfairly benefiting from others work without compensation, excluding inheritance.
There can be no amount of evidence that could make someone a good billionaire. They get that way by stealing the rightful wages of their workers, among other nefarious schemes.
there's no voice changer in this world, present or future, that can make up for his fucking stupid way of speaking. he's such monumental goddamn idiot that he couldn't realize his very recognizable mannerisms couldn't be covered up by a voice changer. and then he proved even more stupid and exposed himself.
Well, there is, just not in real-time. You could have one that changes the speech patterns and could even change the words you use, but it'd have to be done at least with some noticeable latency.
I learned a long time ago that anyone who calls themselves a "great" anything (and has to resort to such childish tactics to perpetuate the myth) is anything but.
I don't know because I don't keep up on every little detail, but this is the first time I've heard of him using a voice changer in a voice chat. I've seen multiple instances of him using alt accounts to just write text though.
He got the shit kicked out of him for being unlikable because neurotypical kids fucking hate autistic kids, ask me how I know or why I hate the world and don’t fucking trust people 🙄
I can’t believe I feel fucking sympathy for this asshole. But my childhood trauma runs deep.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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 you 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.
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?
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.
Why would he want people to think hes a parody account? He didnt want to just say whatever, he wanted to influence public opinion in his favor. He used the alt account to try to boost his public reputation/give the appearance of organic support for his positions and opinions.
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.
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.
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. $200k/year and I will sing his praises far and wide.
He's got literally no humans or animals that like him irl. He already is paying people for this job. He bought Twitter to be his friend so he could spend all his free time on there which is a lot and it won't look as weird since he owns it. Guys brain is more cooked than a nfl player with cte.
He bought Twitter because he wanted to pump the stock up, presumably so that he could dump his stock. The timeline is that Elon talked about taking Twitter private, paying 420$ 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.
$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.
The silliness isn't what convinced me they were different people, it was the fact that Dittman could string a sentence together whereas every time I've heard Elon without a script (which really isn't often, probably never outside of KF) there have been so many ums and ahs that communicating a single point would take a lifetime. Maybe having less pressure on him as Dittman helps.
That right there is something I've always found grating about hearing him speak. When you hear someone intelligent speak, sometimes they use those placeholder umms and ahhs but he's only using them to keep the attention on himself--to not cede the floor to another speaker.
Despite how much/little value there is in his input, i think he's also using the extra time bought by those umms as a chance to try to remember/choose fancy words to dress up the thought he may be attempting to convey. Chances are he's not saying anything of value, but he's trying to speak as though his every word is profound. It's gotta be an ego thing, but probably also numerous other things too. He's so multidimensional 🥴
I suspected a few years ago when the Twitter purchase was going on. That when he was sued to carry out the purchase. That was when he decided he was going to use Twitter as a mechanism of his own personal information warfare.
Mask off cartoonishly evil person does cartoonishly evil things
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.
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.
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.
Maybe if I ignore contrary evidence and just look it this one thing it makes more sense in the mind of a Lemmy user.
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.
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
How sad
That is so profoundly pathetic. My mouth fell open.
The extreme psychological issues behind using an alt account to try and soothe his own ego about his obvious shortcomings as a father, are in dire need of professional help.
Elon needs a quality shrink and far, far fewer ketamine self-medicating sessions.
No doubt a lot of this is proving to himself something after having is own ‘terrible father’(according to him that is)
Oh you don't need his word. Elon's "current" stepmother was his step sister. His father at least is a pedophilic groomer. That's just the tip of the ice berg too. That shitberg runs deep.
That she was four when she became Elon's stepsister is the worst part for me. If she had been an adult, even a young adult, when she and Errol met after he married her mother, it would have been sketchy (breaking the divide by two plus fourteen rule) but not in pedo territory. To have multiple children (Elon's half-siblings and also his step-nieces) with someone you raised as your own child since they were four... it's beyond.
That would require self-reflection, which I'm not sure he's familiar with.
He's wanted his kids a lot closer, physically, after the Luigi incident. It makes sense he's literally wearing one on his back. More surprising that he hasn't strapped one to his front as well.
Edit: note his self praise here is from 12 months ago. Didn't mean to be misleading.
Elon be like
GOP sniper laughing and pulling the trigger: “it’s not an abortion if they’re already born, libtard”
Gotta get those kids use to those school shootings earlier in life.
Why did this invoke "If the IRA can do it so can I" into my mind?
Imma take a random guess that this is from an Ennis written Punisher comic?
Waid's "Insufferable" actually.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insufferable
When you’re a father of twelve, but you still gotta topple democracy.
Is this real? If so, this is the saddest thing I’ve seen in a very long time.
The guy needs actual help. But bad luck for us: instead he’ll tear down American democracy.
What about this?
Every one of those kids is going to need so much therapy
Either that or patricidal catharsis.
at least they’ll be able to afford it
Some will, others will choose to reject him and lose out on all the money to avoid further traumatizion
Luigi went after the wrong guy.
I cringed out loud man what the fuck.
That's so sad. Alexa play Despacito
So even his kid is calling him a monkey? Aren't there child protective services?
One of his kids is transgender. Changed their surname because he's such a shitty father.
But his narcissistic ego thinks he's a great father. And apperently only him, because there sno one else there to say he is.
The reason he went into right wing politics was to rid the world of the woke mind virus that stole his daughter from him.
Not to say he wouldn't have joined anyway in the future, but if there was a straw that broke the camels back, this was it.
You know people say the love for your child knows no boundaries? Well, I know Elon is only a few years older then me, but I say to him: "ok boomer, fuck you". He's just like my mom. Love knows no boundaries, as long as you fit into very specific extremily high expectations.
Because your kid doesn't want to see you again and changes their surname, maybe you failed as a father? Maybe the fault lies with you, not with them? Maybe, when all of your kids complain about you being a bad dad, as well as your exes, not all of your kids and exes are wrong, but you are? Maybe, when your youngest kid calls you a fucking monkey, you're a fucking monkey and should be ashamed AF... Or the entire world is wrong and you are right, because you're a narcissistic psychopath so there's no chance of you doing anything bad, ever.
Well said, but it's worse.
He doesn't even think the fault is with his daughter, he thinks the woke education system did this to her, and she wouldn't be trans if it wasn't for them.
Like, he's denying who she is. It's like the other side of conversion therapy, they converted her to trans, and she's the victim.
Yeah I agree, allowing people to be who they are is disgusting. People should only be who I allow them to be, according to my standards. /s His daughter now is a victim of a society which allows her to be who she really is and not who Elon wants her to be. So society is to blame. "Because everyone should live by my standards, and if their standards are different, my standards will be better so they should change their standards." What a dumb fuck. His daughter is only a victim of Elon. As well as maaaaany others, and many more in the near future.
That and Grimes getting in a relationship with Chelsea Manning.
That's 'narcissistic man outing the depths of his denial' levels of sad.
Wow, this is actual degeneracy.
This is typical autism behavior where you expect immediate rewards for good behavior that has long term benefits, except he had the awareness to make a sock puppet account to give it to himself.
Not commenting on Musk, but here’s my advice to other people on the spectrum: allistic people don’t reward good behaviors immediately, sometimes they might not give any reward at all because they’re playing a completely different game.

He actually named his kid X? The fuck
I assume short for Xæ123v7β2
X AE A 12, apparently.
Not the first one with an X name.
This reminds me of that joke by Chris Rock about how certain people are proud of not going to jail. Of course, staying out of jail is a good thing.
It's the same thing, yeah, be a good father to your children.
Man, I grew up in a household where my parents celebrated that I didn't join a gang. They flexed how their son wasn't in jail to the other families.
Hood mentality.
That was literally part of Chris Rock's skit:
I take care of my kids.
No shit _, you're supposed to take care of your kids!
I'm obviously out of the loop. What happened?
https://lemm.ee/post/51079641/17150600
Adrian Dittmann, the one replying to Musk in this tweet, is apparently Musk's alt account.
Oh God. How pathetic is it that you create and alt to play with yourself. That's like getting mad at your imaginary friend for ghosting you.
Don't blue check marks get paid based on their number of views cause of ads and "creator payout" stuff? Is this Musk's side hustle lmao
Nah the blue check mark is quite random now that musk owns twitter
I haven’t heard a single peep of anyone getting paid by twitter since the first few checks went out. I don’t think he’s doing that anymore and it was always completely arbitrary who got paid (by which I mean it was only popular accounts that he liked).
No, he isn't.

Screw that AI noise, here’s a better article
https://charlesjohnson.substack.com/p/how-elon-musks-twitter-alt-account
Oh my fucking god. I only mostly read his tweets and quotes, never really hearing Musk talk much, especially not in a "debate". I didn't realize how incredibly childish, arrogant, and downright moronic he was in an argument. All he does is talk over a well-articulated point before the person could finish it by insulting the other party and laughing dumbly at his own joke as if he had made some sort of zinger.

This is literally like a child yelling back "Oh yeah?Well, your face is stupid!" How the fuck is this person the richest person on Earth? He wouldn't even be able to keep a fast food employee job.
Elon Musk is proof that being rich does not require competence, intelligence, or hard work. (Hint: it's luck and having rich parents)
Actually, it also necessitates a minimal ability to play the sidelines, manipulate and trick people and a complete lack of morality to use those abilities. He didn't found Tesla. He stole it from its original founders by placing people who were loyal to him on the board.
Having rich parents is part of the luck. What's better than gambling with your vast fortune? Gambling with someone else's vast fortune.
Our society is structured so that the rich fail upwards, and Elon is a huge failure so he floats the best.
Makes sense why he and trump get along.
"No puppet no puppet you're the puppet"
He’s rich cuz daddy gave him starter funds and he got lucky investing in paypal (which he tried to name X).
Money can buy expensive voice modulation software, but it apparently can't buy one's way out of stupidity. Using the same speech patterns, grammar, inflection, and laugh... he really isn't the brightest spark in the tesla coil, is he?

I think an Edison-like company appropriating Tesla's name is peak Edison behavior.
I'm pretty sure they where named Tesla before Musk first invested in them.
Voice changer software is super cheap too
To do otherwise would require the awareness that other people have different speech patterns. I'm surprised his narcissism let him think using a different name would influence people.
Welp, even with voice modulation "Adrian" sounds just like Elon. The speech patterns line up to the point I couldn't much tell he was using voice mod at all.
Holy shit. Elon or not that guy is embarrassing to listen to.
He adds nothing of value to the conversation and just throws insults to deflect. The most cringe worthy, brain rot insults possible.
This country is fucked.
Just another data point that shows you don't need to be smart to be rich.
Glorious.
Guy reads like a huge asshole in his own right though.
Yeah, he's citing Trump, talking about symbology and Baphomet armour, presenting half-baked arguments as if he has a video of Elon saying that was him. I mean, it probably was, but this reads like a conspiracy theory
Trolling someone to the point of emotional dysregulation is kind of a big hint to that end though.
For anyone who, like me, wasn't going to play the clip at the above link, holy crap go do so. It's incredibly comical.
Samesies. Wtf happened? Lol
You all do realize that xelon is just fucked in the head right? He is utterly fucking bonkers.
I was arguing with people online that he's a piece of shit for years and kept getting downvoted by fanboys talking about him being Tony Stark.
This isn't some look how smart I was comment, I just assumed he was a piece of shit because he was a billionaire and I assume every billionaire is a piece of shit unless an overwhelming amount of evidence is presented.

There can be no amount of evidence that could make someone a good billionaire. They get that way by stealing the rightful wages of their workers, among other nefarious schemes.
It was a mix of the constant lying about Teslas future mixed with him reminding me of a rapist I know that fixed my perception of him.
Even Batman sucks, his existence is to protect the rich.
Explain? I know he takes out big name criminals who might be upset at the system, but they're also fucking shit up.
Is that really about protecting the Rich though?
Not helping the poor does not equal protecting the Rich.
He's taking his vengeance out on criminals.
I want to lock Musk and Chris-chan into a room together and see who out crazies the other first. Bonus points if the try to breed one another first.

He deserves a refund for that voice changer...
there's no voice changer in this world, present or future, that can make up for his fucking stupid way of speaking. he's such monumental goddamn idiot that he couldn't realize his very recognizable mannerisms couldn't be covered up by a voice changer. and then he proved even more stupid and exposed himself.
Well, there is, just not in real-time. You could have one that changes the speech patterns and could even change the words you use, but it'd have to be done at least with some noticeable latency.
I think he'll be fine without a refund.
I learned a long time ago that anyone who calls themselves a "great" anything (and has to resort to such childish tactics to perpetuate the myth) is anything but.
There's a Spanish saying for that: "dime de qué presumes y te diré de qué careces"
Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack.
I make a lot of conlangs and am pretty okay at geography
If I had to guess I'd say interpersonal skills. But I bet you'd make a killer fantasy cartographic map!
Space karen is a pathetic piece of human garbage
Hadn't he already done that multiple times?
I don't know because I don't keep up on every little detail, but this is the first time I've heard of him using a voice changer in a voice chat. I've seen multiple instances of him using alt accounts to just write text though.
yeah i want more on the voice changer
DSM5 needs to add Petty
ManchildAdultchild Disorder as a recognized mental health issue so these people can get the help they deserve.Eh, make it petty child. I've seen lots of women with the same behavioral issues
Huh... I've always assumed that manchild was using "man" as human or mankind. Just looked it up and I was wrong.
Make it Petty Adultchild Disorder.
heh yeah maybe they'll give him ketamine
er, wait
In my experience Ketamine only enhances the problems with PACS (Petty AdultChild Syndrome)
"Do you suffer from PACS? Ask your doctor if Ketamine is right for you!"
Muskrat is autistic, I wish he wasn’t he gives the rest of us a bad name.
Also he bought his “success.”
No, he's white and affluent, so he has "Asperger's" 🙄
No, he’s a white supremacist so of course he has (Nazi) aspergers
He isn't autistic, he got the shit kicked out of him too much when he was young because he was so unlikable and he just hates the world now.
He got the shit kicked out of him for being unlikable because neurotypical kids fucking hate autistic kids, ask me how I know or why I hate the world and don’t fucking trust people 🙄
I can’t believe I feel fucking sympathy for this asshole. But my childhood trauma runs deep.
Self declared asperger's.
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.
sfgsdgdsgdsgdsgdfs
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.
sfgsdgdsgdsgdsgdfs
This guy fucks
This sounds like a headache. I can barely juggle my account, I can't imagine two or more.
More evidence CEOs really don't do much: He has the time to do this, despite being CEO of how many companies?
sfgsdgdsgdsgdsgdfs
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.
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.
Someone's read speaker for the dead 🤣
Locke vs demonsthenes
sfgsdgdsgdsgdsgdfs
So instead of sock puppet he just demoted himself to "ban evading forum troll on the website he bought." LOL
sadfasfsadfd
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”.
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.
Ahhahaha, thanks for the context! This is hilariously bad from his part.
I can't believe I am better at faking identities than Elon
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.
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...
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 you 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.
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, 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.
Yes. How very Ken of him.
Why would he want people to think hes a parody account? He didnt want to just say whatever, he wanted to influence public opinion in his favor. He used the alt account to try to boost his public reputation/give the appearance of organic support for his positions and opinions.
Elon exposed himself.
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
There's an image that can not leave my head soon enough.
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
Literal manchild
Make him mad enough to cause a stroke to wipe out his smug shit eating attitude
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.
The man is a freak. I wouldn't be surprised if he's as depraved and sick as Epstein was.

I mean, blocking Ukrainians from using Starlink at key moments at the request of Putin is surely a start.
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.
He'll get someone on an H1B Visa to do it for $45k
45k still double what I'm making ill do it fuck it
Or ~5 times my salary 🥲
Gotta love the brazilian real devaluation
Hell get someone for $45
He's got literally no humans or animals that like him irl. He already is paying people for this job. He bought Twitter to be his friend so he could spend all his free time on there which is a lot and it won't look as weird since he owns it. Guys brain is more cooked than a nfl player with cte.
He bought Twitter because he wanted to pump the stock up, presumably so that he could dump his stock. The timeline is that Elon talked about taking Twitter private, paying 420$ 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.
$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.
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)
Are you familiar with the mouth of Sauron?
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.
I don't think the guy has any friends, so no.
Can't wait to hear the knowledge fight guys humbly eat crow on that one...
I get where they were coming from. It was almost too silly to believe.
But yeah, I hope they do own up quick.
The silliness isn't what convinced me they were different people, it was the fact that Dittman could string a sentence together whereas every time I've heard Elon without a script (which really isn't often, probably never outside of KF) there have been so many ums and ahs that communicating a single point would take a lifetime. Maybe having less pressure on him as Dittman helps.
That right there is something I've always found grating about hearing him speak. When you hear someone intelligent speak, sometimes they use those placeholder umms and ahhs but he's only using them to keep the attention on himself--to not cede the floor to another speaker.
Despite how much/little value there is in his input, i think he's also using the extra time bought by those umms as a chance to try to remember/choose fancy words to dress up the thought he may be attempting to convey. Chances are he's not saying anything of value, but he's trying to speak as though his every word is profound. It's gotta be an ego thing, but probably also numerous other things too. He's so multidimensional 🥴
You mean comorbid.
He did it on the last bastion of free speech on the internet!
Now that we know this one. Can we find him talking and answering himself?
Ooof that's sad
I really can't stop laughing at this
I was verbose when I saved this one.
Shareholders gotta love that.
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
I suspected a few years ago when the Twitter purchase was going on. That when he was sued to carry out the purchase. That was when he decided he was going to use Twitter as a mechanism of his own personal information warfare.
Mask off cartoonishly evil person does cartoonishly evil things
Mods have been doing that shit since yahoo chat rooms
Orly? Thought his alt account was 'Leroy Jenkins'?
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.
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
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.
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.
Maybe if I ignore contrary evidence and just look it this one thing it makes more sense in the mind of a Lemmy user.
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

OP, this isn't even a meme? It's just a definition of free speech.
I hope that's a huge '/s' we're missing here
Didn't think it needed one, but here we are lmao
