If you are Indian enough, you’d know Gangadhar hi Shaktiman hai, and this may also hold true in the case of
Elon Musk
. The
Tesla CEO
is known to a lot of posts on X (formerly Twitter), and some think that he has an alternate handle (or burner account) under the name “Adrian Dittmann” that he uses to praise himself and businesses-led by Musk.
Who is Adrian Dittmann and his Musk connection
While the speculations around the true identity of Adrian Dittmann have been making rounds on the internet for some time now, it was last week that the theory of Dittmann and Musk being the same person grabbed attention.
People believe that Musk appears as Adrian Dittmann on the platform to amplify his ideas and praise himself as well as his companies.
Earlier this month (on February 9), Dittmann appeared in a Twitter Spaces session with Alex Jones. The attendees of the session guessed that Dittmann was Musk, but Dittmann denied it.
On February 15, Dittmann posted, “The amount of quality content on 𝕏 is drastically increasing,” to which user with the handle TheLiamNissan replied, implying that he had guessed Adrian Dittmann was Elon Musk's alt account.
On February 18, TheLiamNissan's account was removed, leading to the speculation that Musk had the account banned, however, the handler clarified that on February 19 on rival platform Bluesky that he received "creepy threats" and deactivated his X account.
People started to scrutinise Dittmann’s account, which is filled with praises for Musk and the businesses led by Musk. Some even pointed out that the content and language that Dittmann uses to share his posts are strikingly similar to Musk’s.
Here are some posts from Dittmann’s account:
