Elon Musk admitted to using two secret alternate accounts on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in a deposition for a lawsuit against the billionaire. He said that he used some accounts on the social media site outside of his main public account when he was asked to clarify if he used an account on X that had been linked to him by several users on social media. Some users posted a screenshot of his X interface last year in which the additional account appeared to be visible.

Instead of pretending to be his own infant son (which is really, really weird) , it would be much funnier if he made an alt account pretending to be a bad impersonation of himself, if he has a sense of humour, that is.

That way, he can say things without having it link back to him and stay under the radar, after all, who in the right mind would ever expect an unverified "Elon Musk" Twitter account to be ran by the actual Elon Musk?

That is essentially the Adrian Deitman account. He is pretending to be a loser who is obsessed is pretending to be Elon.

It is really quite pathetic.

I don't understand how he even have time to be so terminally online when he's running like 5 different companies.

Given what I've read about his management style, the more time he spends on Twitter, the better it is for his employees.
