A bizarre conspiracy claiming Elon Musk uses an alias to praise himself on his own social media network took an unexpected turn when a journalist who debunked the theory was banned from the platform.
For years, Dittmann’s X account has drawn attention for its effusive praise of Musk, sparking rumors that the Tesla CEO had been using the account to defend himself and promote his views.
Using a combination of social media analysis, AI comparisons, and government video footage, Sweet identified Dittmann as a young, blonde German entrepreneur who lives in Fiji.
Dittmann made headlines in 2023 when Musk directly acknowledged the similarity in their voices after the former appeared on Alex Jones’ controversial InfoWars podcast.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur commented, ‘at some point there’s just going to be like 100 AI clones of me that sound exactly the same.’
