    Alright, I just woke up so I might not see the obvious, but apart from the almost surreal butt licking, what is the sign (proof?) here that this Dittman’s account is actually Elon’s? Sorry, I have never used Twitter or X.

      This link where he’s playing Dittman and he says something along the lines of “her problem was clearly not with the product but with Elon because I was the first thing she posted about.

      Also, in this article’s sound clip, you can hear the similarities. Elon was not on this call, that was “Dittman”.

        Where’s the voicechanger? That’s just clearly Elon.

        I’ve worked in a taxi dispatch taking hundreds of calls a day for some years and even though I do say so myself, I think I have a pretty good ear.

        And his… I don’t know what to even call it, but like there’s this very specific sound when he speaks. Creaking sort of.

        This is very clearly him. Is that supposed to be through a voicechanger? Because maybe I’ve not listened to him in any media for a while so I don’t remember the tone and that doesn’t seem weird to me for that reason, but it’s just very unmistakably Elon, lol.

        So he hasn’t even the mental capacity to keep an act up, without his narcissism interfering?

        Wow… let that sink in…

      He made a lot of critical errors because he doesn’t understand that for a sock puppet to be effective in the long run, it has to do 3 things:

      1. it has to post regularly

      2. it has to post differently than you do. If it disagrees with you broadly that’s even better.

      3. It can only show up in your defense at critical moments and with almost visible hesitancy e.g. “I am a huge critic of Musk, especially on [issue A], but on this [Issue B] I actually think he makes a salient point.”

      You get the most use out of sock puppets by letting them moderate your position to make it more palatable to the public without actually having to moderate your position.

      Anything less than the 3 above makes it a liability. Especially when you sloppily juggle several.

          More evidence CEOs really don’t do much: He has the time to do this, despite being CEO of how many companies?

          I once tried to have a throwaway “talk crap about my job account” but it got a little boring and didn’t even provide catharsis since nobody engaged with it lol.

        See while I don’t agree with your argument on his critical errors, you make a salient point on the list of things required to pull sock puppeting off.

          To have that, you need people you actually trust.

          Elon musk trusts no one. His circle is a bunch of yes men who have willingly sold their soul to agree with whatever crazy shit Musk wants.

          Musk is smart enough to know that. While also not smart enough to build a team he fully trusts.

        So instead of sock puppet he just demoted himself to “ban evading forum troll on the website he bought.” LOL
