    Whether or not anyone found him out, think about the fact that he himself knows that he created a fake account so he could tell himself he’s a great father. Imagine knowing that about yourself. I shudder to think of the absolute disgust he must feel when he looks at himself in the mirror. At least there’s comfort and joy to be found for the rest of us in thinking about that. What a fucking loser. I dream of the day I don’t have to hear about this pathetic waste of space on a daily basis.

      I don’t think he has feelings about anything you mentioned (those are valid points though).

      It’s just image maintenance to him.

        I don’t know, there are thousands of replies to all his posts, who’d even see it below all the more popular responses? Strikes me more like he’s writing himself words of affirmation.

      Instead of pretending to be someone else to compliment him about his parenting, he could try just being a dad. I doubt this fucker raised any of his kids for a single second, I doubt he’s changed a single diaper, or attended a single recital or game.

      At that level of money and wealth and living, you dont feel bad at all, cause everything is okay. He felt great just saying it and 1000 of people read it . Anybody who does no agreww with him is just small fraction of people who did not say anything, so its a win for him. You see this in most of the rich people, if there is strike going outside and of one of the operation manager just close the door of factory and contains it outside , its a win for them , unless something is not touching their money directly and helping them blind side problem its a SOLID win in their books .its like they can’t/don’t think that far. It’s side effect of ingot mine , so you can go away mentality, they become highly myopic

    Shame guys, maybe Elon really isn’t ok and all he really needs is a hug, and someone to tell him he is a good dad.

    Also, Elon, if you’re reading this, I will tell you whatever shitty lies you wanna hear, in the most convincing tone you need to hear it, if you give twitter back, free of charge, to it’s prior owners

      There’s no saving Twitter. It’s been dying when the previous owners had it, that’s why they bailed when Elon offered to buy it.

    How exactly was it proven? Not defending Elon, I’m genuinely curious. The article mentions an audio recording sounding similar to Elon and some weird praises on Twitter. How does that connect the Dittmann account to Elon though?

      Agreed. I strongly dislike Elon and think he is a thin skinned trust fund baby who is destroying Tesla and already destroyed Twitter. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least to find out he is using sock accounts to praise himself… but in this article all I see are people making accusations without solid evidence. Yes, it appears he banned the guy accusing him but we already know that Elon will ban his critics whether or not those critics’ accusations are real. There is nothing here showing that the account is anything but one of his braindead fanboys.

      It’s one thing to take these accusations and try to find solid evidence. It’s another to treat the accusations as solid evidence itself. Let’s be better than the conspiracy theorists.

      I mean he has a history of doing this… Also, it’s not an audio recording. He joined a live audio chat and everyone on the chat (Alex Jones and some other weirdo) thought it was Elon.

    Huh? Doesn’t everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn’t a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?

      Celebrities do use PR agencies but Musk is known for not having PR teams at any of his companies.

      He is the stupidest billionaire.

        PR people? They’re an unnecessary expense.

        He literally cut twitter staff by 80%, twitter is on life support and running on fumes, has crazy technical issues and breaking features, and he refuses to invest in it.

          Yes the company is dying because he cut all their staff but that’s not the point.

          None of his companies have PR departments.

          Any request for comment to these companies is responded to with a poop emoji or ignored. He’s a child.

    Joined by conspiracy theorist David Icke, who believes that the world’s top leaders are actually lizards, Jones and his guest both questioned whether they were actually talking to Musk based on the individual’s eerily similar speech.

    There’s… there’s a lot to unpack here. I’m truly saddened that this version of me ended up in the bizarre timeline; I wonder how my other selves are doing.

      I was looking through comments to see if anyone noticed this part. I have to believe that he doesn’t really think world leaders are actual lizards and its actually more of a performance art piece or something.

      If he’s serious about it… I just don’t know how humanity went so wrong.

        Idk dude, I read his wiki page and some of this shit is just nuts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

        This guy strikes me as one of:

        • a cult member
        • an aspiring cult leader
        • a grifter
        • someone suffering a psychotic break from reality (obligatory: I’m not a trained medical/mental health professional)
        • some combination of the above

    I feel like it’s easier to believe he is a serious dickrider for Musk. I bet there’s a million of them out there. Musk could just boost one of them instead of operating a burner account.

    All that money and power and no added happiness or joy. So unloved he has to fake it. I always knew absurd wealth doesn’t actually improve a person, but thanks for constantly proving it over and over again anyway Elon. Glad to know you’ll die unhappy.

      Have you seen his mom (Maye Musk)? I don’t think she ever loved Elon, or anyone. Maybe Dalmatians.

      Very well put. He and many others create a lot of misery chasing what they think will make them happy rather than what actually will. Figuring out the difference is a personal process that you have to want, though.

      I always figured he was some kind of workaholic that can never have enough. That is sometimes good for your bank balance but it is often not good for YOU.

          I did wonder if I’d get a reply like this since it has the word “work” in it, lol.
