Twitter/X claims that it has found the burner account of Elon Musk which goes by Adrian Dittmann
Social media users on X (previously Twitter) have accused tech billionaire Elon Musk of using a burner account under the name “Adrian Dittmann” to participate in conversations and Twitter/X spaces to defend himself, putting him at the centre of a fresh scandal.
Is Adrian Dittmann the burner account of owner Elon Musk and did he alter his voice on his alt Twitter/X account
Given that “Adrian Dittman” is Elon Musk, this has to go down as possibly the saddest tweet of all time.

According to reports, the account owned by Elon Musk actively participated in X Spaces, frequently speaking positively about Musk and getting into heated arguments with detractors while using a voice modifier.
According to a widely circulated video, the person who runs the “Adrian Dittmann” account praised Elon Musk, referring to him as “the only one to give these crackheads a voice.” Many people think that Musk is the one behind the alias because previous X Spaces depict the user talking about Musk in the first person, which heightens suspicion, however this isn’t officially confirmed yet despite a raft of theories online about Dittmann being Musk himself.
Charles Johnson has meanwhile come out with proof on Substack claiming that he had unmasked Musk who was actually behind the Dittmann burner account on Twitter/X.
“I’m building a compilation reel so please find audio of Elon Musk and Adrian Dittman saying the same thing to triple confirm it.
“I’m also sending it to some friends of mine who work with the NSA to get even stronger proof that Adrian is Elon and vice versa.
“Rather hilariously Elon Musk aka “Adrian Dittmann” slipped up during an X livestream and said he uses “rocket fuel.” Right. Totally normal stuff. So too his embezzling of Tesla company property,” Charles wrote in his article as he also claimed that Dittmann had slipped into Musk’s natural South African accent while speaking.
Dittmann has found media attention before also as well due to sounding almost identical to the Tesla CEO, but after appearing on Alex Jones’s Infowars podcast, people started suspecting that he may actually be Musk masquerading under a false name.
It’s an uncanny vocal likeness, and it’s not like Musk doesn’t have a history of allegedly using burner accounts on the platform.
Musk’s purported usage of this account has generated a lot of discussion, even though celebrities frequently utilize alt personas to surf social media in private. The charges against Musk point to a more self-serving motive, although many celebrities utilize these accounts to evade ongoing investigation. Some have criticized Musk for self-promotion, calling the situation “beyond pathetic,” while others have made fun of his seeming need to defend himself anonymously.

Although Musk has not addressed the charges, internet debates are nonetheless dominated by the conjecture. This most recent dispute heightens the constant scrutiny Musk is subjected to for his contacts and public behaviour. Regardless of whether “Adrian Dittman” is actually Musk, the narrative emphasizes the particular difficulties in preserving public opinion in the digital era.
Musk’s complicated connection with social media, where he has regularly courted both praise and condemnation for his outspoken and unusual behaviour, continues with this episode.
You're an amazing father, Elon.
Your kids are very lucky to have you.— Adrian Dittmann (@AdrianDittmann) January 6, 2024
Elon Musk on German far right
In an online opinion piece published on Saturday, December 29, by the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Elon Musk, a close adviser to Donald Trump, expressed support for Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Eva Marie Kogel, the paper’s opinion editor, resigned as a result of the article, which elaborated on remarks Musk had previously made on social media.

In the opinion piece, written in German, Musk wrote, “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-s*x partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!”
