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.
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

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.
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.
Space karen is a pathetic piece of human garbage
I'm obviously out of the loop. What happened?

Adrian Dittmann, the one replying to Musk in this tweet, is apparently Musk's alt account.
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
Edit:
Screw that AI noise, here’s a better article

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.
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.
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.
Voice changer software is super cheap too
I am well acquainted with tricking drug addicts. I’ve been to Phish concerts.
Glorious.
Samesies. Wtf happened? Lol
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.
Se cree mierda y no llega ni a pedo.
I make a lot of conlangs and am pretty okay at geography
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.
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.
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.
Shareholders gotta love that.
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 🥴
