You might be aware there's a "person" Adrian Dittman that is a massive Elon Musk fanboy ... and sounds very very very much like he is actually Elon Musk. I think it's more likely than not it is, though I'm not ... yet ... 100% convinced.


Interestingly over on 4chan this happened this evening (reportedly now deleted, so archive link) ....


An account using the name Adrian Dittman, while discussing Xitter policy on sensitive images, posted a screenshot. The screenshot, if you look carefully down the bottom right, was take by someone with Admin rights to Xitter. There's claims due to some image issues it's a photoshop, but I think they're explainable by image compression artifacts.

I'm not a 4chan user, if anyone is and can at least find the original thread and link it, I'd appreciate it!

i don’t think musk is nearly as clever as he thinks he is, and he often is ham fisted when he tries. i also usually assume whatever is the most stupid thing is what it is with musk and that often pans out for me. so, imo, most likely they are both musk.

According to 4chan. In your opinion, they are both Musk because that's what 4chan alleges. Do you think 4chan is nearly as clever as it thinks it is?

The widespread belief that Dittman is Musk far predates this discussion on 4chan. Indeed this is the first time I even knew anyone who claimed to be Dittman was on 4chan (may not be Dittman, Musk or otherwise). As noted in my OP, it's even in Newsweek.
 
All that money and he can't find something better to do?
Alleged alter egos aside, it's pretty clear the guy had a dysfunctional childhood and a resulting fragile ego. I suspect he's also gone all Murdoch and had his own propaganda outlet brainwash him ....

4chan and Newsweek? Now I know this is a prank.
 
Musk is enough of a weirdo that he would do something like this. I had always assumed it was an impersonator though. Apparently, Dittman has been involved in discussions on Twitter Spaces at times when Musk has been live on stage.

That said, here is a clip of "Dittmann" arguing with right-wingers including some Info Wars idiot. Wow, the names here are a bunch of weirdos, fascists and freaks (some redundancy there).

On X half the Musk fan club were telling everyone Musk wasn't Dittman because Dittman was German and Musk can't speak German but when people point out DIttman's German is terrible, other Musk fanboys were saying that's evidence Musk wasn't Dittman because Musk's German is fine. 🤷 Here's some samples -

Adrian apparently defended Lord Hairplugs from accusations of being a neoNazy by claiming "Elon is a father who gets lots of sex".

I love the fellow that says Ditmann speaks more arrogantly than Galaxy Brain. Has he never listened to Galaxy "I know more about manufacturing than any person alive" Brain?
 
According to The Spectator, someone investigated, found that Adrian Dittmann was actually someone called Adrian Dittmann living in Fiji. They published in The Spectator, following which, Musk posted that he was Adrian Dittmann. Then the X accounts of the people involved in the investigation were suspended, and posting a link to the article was blocked by X.


(Although I just posted the original link on X, with no apparent problem just now.

)
