A MAGA civil conflict is underway between Donald Trump’s sugar daddy tech bros and the president-elect’s as soon as loyal supporters.
Over the previous week, Elon Musk has been publicly hashing it out with conservative activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and different MAGA cultists over H-1B visas. And because the two sides proceed to hurl insults forwards and backwards, an outdated conspiracy principle tied to South African-born Musk has returned to the highlight.
Left-leaning conspiracy theorists imagine that Musk has been posting on X underneath the pseudonym Adrian Dittman to reward and defend himself, and because the debate over Musk’s assist for H-1B visas continues to warmth up, the web took discover of the Dittman account as soon as once more echoing Musk’s sentiment.
Extra particularly, Dittman seemingly defended Musk amid claims from right-wing X accounts that they had been being censored for his or her anti-immigration stances.
“Some elements of the extreme legacy MAGA movement will have to deal with it as well. Because that’s how it is,” Dittman stated throughout a $TSLA Reside Areas stream on X. “And don’t hate the fucking big tech bros. Because out of all of them, Elon is the only one that’s giving all of these crackheads a fucking voice.”
“I wish he would try to pull that shit on fucking Facebook and see how long he lasts,” he continued. “You ungrateful motherfuckers, seriously. You keep crying ‘censorship’ this, ‘censorship’ that. You’re not censored. Your takes just suck.”
The Dittman account was created in July 2021 and now has greater than 187,000 followers. The account holder, whose voice shares a definite similarity to Musk’s, has not publicly shared his identification.
Sleuths additional insisted the 2 had been one and the identical when Dittman started referring to himself within the first particular person as he was discussing some kind of interior turmoil associated to Musk.
Referring to an unidentified lady, Dittman stated, “Her primary focus is basically not just a problem with the product, but it seems to be a problem with Elon and anything Elon-like. Given that I was literally the first thing she posted about, it’s kind of obvious at this point that you have more of a problem with the person than you have about the product.”
Whereas theorists took this as irrefutable proof that Musk is certainly Dittman, it’s doable that the account holder was referring to himself as somebody who has traditionally been related to Musk through X.
Musk has personally addressed these claims on his X profile, sharing a meme referring to the conspiracy theorists as “subtards.”
Laughing off the hypothesis, Musk additionally wrote, “Legacy media think Dittman is me 🤣.”
The 2 accounts seemingly appeared on a joint Areas stream in February to snort off the claims.
“It’s eerie,” Musk says, noting Dittman’s comparable humor and talking type.
“There’s been theories that I’m one of your Neuralink experiments,” Dittman stated as Musk cackled within the background.
Now, to offer the theorists some credit score, celebrities utilizing pseudonyms to push their very own publicity or defend their opinions isn’t something new. If something, Musk would simply be pulling from Trump’s playbook.
Within the ‘70s and ‘80s, Trump would fake to be his personal publicist—going by the title of John Barron—to unfold constructive details about himself.
As for Musk, the jury continues to be out on whether or not or not he’s utilizing a faux X profile to come back to his personal rescue.
