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.

So this guy is the CEO of like 5 companies and he still has time to pretend to be a kid on Twitter? Is he really working that hard? Is he working so much harder that he's worth 20,000x the average worker?

    What is the account in question?

    The account @ermnmusk, under the name "Elon Test" appeared to show Elon Musk role-playing as a child much like his three-year-old son. Last year the account posted, “I will finally turn 3 on May 4th!”, in a

    This is just weird.

    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.

    His regular account also behaves like a child, but he isn't pretending.

    If Elon Musk had had the misfortune to be poor, he would have been institutionalized by now. But since he's rich, the media just fawns over all his whacko bullshit.

    It’s goofy and not “professional”, and so on, and i really dislike ol’ Elmo, but I don’t think this is the paedophile honeypot account it’s heavily implied to be.

    It’s just him goofing around as if a 3-year-old him has an account.

    TL;DR: Meh
