Pretty sure Elon just came out and said he was Adrian yesterday.

Yep: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1875758660154163254 So much for the billionaire fanboy copium.

He's yanking your chain. They both like to tease that they're the same person. Dittmann because it's probably become his livelihood and Elon because he can not get enough attention in this world.

I think this hits the nail on the head. I do believe it would be very unlikely for Elon to be using the dittman account as much as it is used. That is the simplest possible explanation.

Then you underestimated what a child this guy is: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1875758660154163254

Stop posting the same comment and link over and over.

People really don't want to admit them being separate people. This guy just basically adopted all of Elon mannerisms, beliefs and interests to get attention. He "slips" up sometimes on purpose to keep the ambiguity but the real tell is he spends hours every day talking while Elon is appearing in other places, like on NYE you could listen to Adrian while seeing Elon and X at Trumps party in mar-a-lago. Musk has had so…

Woosh.

The article establishes pretty clearly Dittman is not imaginary, and he is not Elon. I’ve been skeptical, but I thought it was possible. The evidence seemed weak, though - I’m a relative nobody, and when I had a tiny bit of e-fame there were a few people out there relentlessly cheerleading/shilling me and aggressively agreeing with everything I said. So the fact Dittman did this with Elon was hardly conclusive. I tho…

So much for that: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1875758660154163254

Thank goodness for that, I hope people will now believe that I am Elon as well.

Given how hard this is to reconcile with the investigation, I think it’s likely Musk is trolling and that’s his idea of humor.

It’s not like Musk builds rockets. He pays for it but that’s it. He also spent $44bn on an American president. He’s clearly intelligent but is he a genius?

He does far more than write checks and even if that was truly all he did the fact that he put his personal wealth into both Tesla and then SpaceX when there was no reasonable expectation for success is on its own highly commendable.

Nobody built rockets the way SpaceX does, and SpaceX - full-stop - would not exist without his involvement.

I find his personality and views largely repugnant, but denigrating his accomplishments is beyond the pale.

Obnoxious tweets and incendiary messaging does not mean we ought not appreciate his impact.

He’s either Adrian Dittman, a liar, or a clown, take your pick. I think he’s all three. In any case he’s a child.

Musk isn't too hands on at spacex anymore, he quit seeking high level clearance a while back over the drug stuff and mostly started playing the new diablo instead (ranked top 4 in the world) and tweeting many hours a day.

> It’s in the public interest because Musk is one of the most powerful people on the planet and he’s exercising that power quite forcefully these days. But that doesn't mean you should go ahead and hunt for every detail about a person just because they sound like Elon. So if I am a great Elon Musk impersonator should I be doxxed to a huge extent just like in this article / Spectator? All one had to was ask or do a fa…

People have asked for face interviews. I suspect Adrian is enjoying the attention all the confusion generates. And it’s not “just” because he sounds like Elon. There have been multiple occasions where Adrian has said “I” referring to Elon. Obviously people slip up in speech, but also obviously some people have pseudonyms. Adrian has lots of in-depth knowledge of Tesla/SpaceX, shows up in the same circles as Elon cons…

The same of what you said to me can be also applied to the "roon (@tszzl)" account on X, it has been widely speculated that that account is Sam Altman, works at OpenAI, knows about 'AGI', and also speaks in riddles.

Now that we know 'the truth' that Adrian Dittman is not Elon (it was an elaborate inside joke by the way)

Should we both together make a large extensive public exposé on the roon (@tszzl) X account to find out the truth because we are curious about what the fuck is going on?
