Elon Musk is at the center of a new controversy as social media users on X (formerly Twitter) allege that the tech billionaire used a burner account under the name "Adrian Dittman" to join discussions and defend himself. The account reportedly used a voice changer and actively participated in X Spaces, often speaking favorably about Musk and engaging in heated exchanges with critics.
BREAKING: Elon Musk, using a cheesy voice modifier on his “Adrian Ditmann” account, says MAGA “will have to fucking deal with it” because “Elon is the only one to give these fucking crackheads a voice. You ungrateful motherfuckers, seriously.”

A widely shared clip claims the "Adrian Dittman" account joined a Space, where the user vocally supported Musk, calling him "the only one to give these crackheads a voice." Adding to the suspicion, past X Spaces show the account speaking about Musk in the first person, leading many to believe that Musk himself is behind the alias. Allegations also suggest Musk exposed himself during one such session after becoming frustrated, reportedly banning users who mocked the account.

While celebrities often use alt accounts to navigate social media privately, Musk’s alleged use of this account has sparked widespread debate. Many celebrities use these accounts to avoid constant scrutiny, but the accusations against Musk suggest a more self-serving purpose. Critics have called the situation "beyond pathetic," accusing Musk of self-promotion, while others mocked his apparent need to defend himself anonymously.
Musk has not responded to the accusations, but the speculation continues to dominate online discussions. This latest controversy adds to the ongoing scrutiny Musk faces regarding his public actions and interactions. Whether or not "Adrian Dittman" is truly Musk, the story highlights the unique challenges of maintaining public perception in the digital age.
This incident is yet another chapter in Musk’s complex relationship with social media, a platform where he has frequently courted both praise and criticism for his outspoken and unconventional behavior.
