    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.

      He made a lot of critical errors because he doesn’t understand that for a sock puppet to be effective in the long run, it has to do 3 things:

      1. it has to post regularly

      2. it has to post differently than you do. If it disagrees with you broadly that’s even better.

      3. It can only show up in your defense at critical moments and with almost visible hesitancy e.g. “I am a huge critic of Musk, especially on [issue A], but on this [Issue B] I actually think he makes a salient point.”

      You get the most use out of sock puppets by letting them moderate your position to make it more palatable to the public without actually having to moderate your position.

      Anything less than the 3 above makes it a liability. Especially when you sloppily juggle several.

      This link where he’s playing Dittman and he says something along the lines of “her problem was clearly not with the product but with Elon because I was the first thing she posted about.

      Also, in this article’s sound clip, you can hear the similarities. Elon was not on this call, that was “Dittman”.

      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.
