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?
- CEOs don't work hard. They delegate the hard work and they have fun, go to lunch with other assholes, etc.
  
  They also love to talk about how hard they work at those lunches
- I'd like to live in a world with a 1000x pay scale.
  Whatever the richest person makes, the poirers must make at least 1/1000th of that amount.
  
  I'm ok with this.
- Spewing bullshit as consistently as he does while still being believed by your core base is a rare skill set.
- he's worth 20,000 of your children
  yours personally
  just for asking that question
  
  No that would still make my kid worth $9.8 million. My kid will be lucky if he’s worth 1/200,000th of that asshole (not accounting for inflation).
- X has become his passion project.
  Ah yes, my passion too is a dumpster fire. Love the smell!
  
  rofl as if he was ever good for Tesla... Outside of strongarming the few government contracts, he's been an overtly negative impact onvthe brand and now everyone laughs at Teslas instead of viewing them like the iphone of electric cars.
  ... but you go off about how he's good for ANY company...
So his regular account?
you know what they say about rich people using their time more efficiently and effectively? this is what that means
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.
I would be much more impressed if he an account where he pretended to NOT be a child...
You. Fucking. Weirdo.
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.
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.
- Idk I think he would be just a normal guy. Maybe he would work retail or something and be miserable. I still think that would be better haha.
  
  He’d be a retail manager who meets up for abdl role play. Which honestly idgaf if everyone is a consenting adult, my issue would be the retail manager part and possibly him still being a raging bigot
  
  How you know you’re a good person
But his official account isn't secret, is it? 🤷
- That's the one where he pretends to be an adult.
  
  He's doing a shit job.
I thought that's why he had his main account.
Oh yeah I forgot about the whole "baby account" thing. Man why are rich people so weird?
- Because they are psychopaths who really only triumph because their mental illness allows them to bypass social norms and expectations.
- Because they know they can get away with being their true selves?
This is a deeply wounded and developmentally stunted man, and the power he holds is terrifying because of it.
- What did you expect? He has autism
  
  Autism has nothing at all to do with what I said.
  
  Autism doesn't turn you into an unempathetic megalomaniac.
  Being a billionaire does.
  
  So do I. This has more to do with being an terrifying entitled, out of touch billionaire. Who also happens to be autistic.
Has he considered an account where he talks to his therapist?
His regular account also behaves like a child, but he isn't pretending.
What a fucking weirdo.
im elon musk goo goo gaga
- It's weirder. He pretends to specifically be one of his kids.
  
  Oof that is really off. What a gross human in so many ways
What a fucking cooker.
- Musk is a wallfacer
"Pretends"
- Depends on whether you mean physical age or mental age
  
  Mental. The guy is still living his childhood as it was in south africa
so he's collecting pictures of dicks
Sounds like okbuddyretard
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
He's really, really good at his pretending.
Pretends to be…?? He IS..
the 21st century Howard Hughes.
- I feel like people downvoted you, not realizing that Howard Hughes was the "I keep all my piss in jars to inspect" dude.
that's no secret
Secret?
Okay, why is this exactly news? He's just testing what it's like to be a child, many adults probably so this on social media or at least want to.
Musk has done many terrible things to the platform but this is not one of them.
Okay, now I feel bad for him? I feel like maybe people are making fun of someone who is emotionally stunted (maybe because of trauma?) and so has a need for attention. I get that people want to criticize him (rightfully so) for his callous attitude towards vulnerable people. I feel like he hasn’t heard of the term, or doesn’t care for it if he has, “nobless oblige”. In fact, many people in positions of power, authority or influence should reflect on it. Sadly, often people who reach such positions are incapable of such reflection. It’s a beast that feeds itself.
And he also has his official account where he pretends to be a conservative
