It has been speculated that Elon Musk is using an alternate name on X going by Adrian Dittmann in order to promote himself.
With 221K followers on his X account, Adrian Dittmann has made headlines over the past few days. The verified X user has been allegedly defending Elon Musk on a number of topics and is said to be his online alias. The debate began when a 4chan user identified as Dittmann published an alleged screenshot of X’s admin choices. This prompted concerns about whether only someone with high access, or maybe Musk himself, could have created such an image.
In the now-deleted 4chan post by Adrian, admin choices like “bans” and “admin portal” are clearly visible at the bottom of the screenshot.
Though it is speculated that the screenshots might be fake, Adrian specifically defended Elon Musk post his recent moderations on X.
Those who believe Musk and Adrian are the same person, point out that the entire 4chan conversation began at the same time Musk was accused of suspending or demonetizing accounts associated with extreme critics. Supporters of Dittmann argue that the account is either an overly enthusiastic fan who has enough technical knowledge to recreate admin-level screenshots or that he is a Musk confidant with legitimate access.
Musk has not provided any meaningful data to put an end to the rumors. Adrian has only said that he is a German speaker who learned English through BBC broadcasts and games. This entire event is an example of how new platforms and voice technology can blur the differences between online identities.
Adrian’s Interactions With xQc & Destiny
Back in July 2024, Adrian made the headlines after his interaction with streamers xQc and Destiny. He hosted one of his live sessions on the platform Spaces, which allows live audio interactions. A number of clips featuring Dittmann and xQc went viral, where the former sounds eerily similar to Elon Musk.
Adrian was also heard having a very serious debate with political streamer Destiny. He also shared a clip on X of Destiny being sarcastic while replying to some questions, saying,
“This was pure insanity.”
Additionally, on January 3, 2025, Adrian was invited to ConnorEatsPants’ Fortnite Friday’s stream. They talked about a number of ongoing topics, and Connor made enough efforts to know the truth and settle the debate about Adrian being Elon Musk. Moreover, a number of streamers and YouTubers reacted to it, including HasanAbi. Adrian talked about him during the stream and shared his thoughts about the streamer. Hasan reacted to the whole video by saying that,
“It’s one or the other. There is no secret third thing here. It’s either Adrian Dittmann is Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet. Or this is the number one Elon writer on the planet who has basically perfectly mastered the way Elon speaks.”
