    Pictured: Elon Musk sits on the floor of a Tesla Plant with his back to the camera. Deep in thought he sketches revolutionary new designs with his big box of Crayola (containing all 240 colors).

    Adrian Dittmann regularly goes on Alex Jones' Twitter Spaces show. His schtick is that he sounds exactly like Elon Musk but never admits to being him. The hosts of the Knowledge Fight podcast have been covering it and trying to decide if it is or isn't him. If it is, it's uniquely pathetic. If it isn't, it's uniquely pathetic in a different way.

      Heard a clip on Western Kabuki, and if that's not Elon Musk then it's the guy who does the Elon Tusk voice on Rick & Morty.

        On Knowledge Fight they go back and forth between it being Elon, his brother, or a really good impersonator who's doing it so people think he's Elon. It's pretty spot-on and Alex Jones immediately goes into m'lord mode thinking it's actually Elon. I think it is Elon because he had that other weird account roleplaying as his child. The world's loneliest boy is inventing imaginary friends to tell him how smart he is.

            It's great. Alex stops whatever the episode is about to make it a show about interviewing Adrian as if he's Elon Musk. Because Alex was unbanned by Elon personally, he feels personally indebted and is completely submissive.

    the posed picture is what gets me. people posting pictures of themselves trying to seem like they were captured candidly in a moment of introspection... I just can't deal with that.

    it's the kind of move kids do when they first get a camera and get on social media at peak awkward stage, which is amusing in retrospect and from the outside. like that "boo caught me sleepin" genre of pics.

    but this guy is like 50 or whatever. so what a fukn LOSER.

    Surely not. Like doing this type of behavior would make me curl in on myself in cringe if it was ever exposed. It would actually send me. How does a billionaire sit back on his chair after typing up a tweet on his fake account and feel okay with himself?
