Elon Musk (Allegedly) Posted on His Alt That He 'Is a Father Who Gets Lots of Sex'
The intra-MAGA fight over immigration has led to an interesting consequence: The richest man alive may have revealed another secret alt account.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and business psycho Vivek Ramaswamy poked a hornet's nest when they recently said they supported H-1B visas for workers skilled in specialty roles, after campaigning for a guy who ran on mass deportations and slashing legal immigration. (Musk spent $250 million to get Donald Trump elected.) Other high-profile people in the MAGA cinematic universe did not like this one bit: Steve Bannon, Nikki Haley, and Laura Loomer all disagreed and said the U.S. needs to "prioritize" American workers over foreign-born ones.
Here's where things get strange. Loomer said that after she called out Musk, her Twitter account was demonetized. She hosted a Twitter "Spaces" audio chat on December 28 and it was joined by an account named "Adrian Dittmann" who tried to persuade her that Musk was not a MAGA traitor. Except "Dittman's" voice sounded exactly like Musk's—a theory that people have floated for months!
Cut to this week, when "Dittman" posted a bunch of messages on 4chan on New Year's Day in which he got defensive about Musk's ketamine use as a government contractor and threatened defamation lawsuits. Screenshots posted online don't show the messages "Dittmann" was responding to, but given that 4chan is a favorite site of the alt-right, we can imagine people were reaming Musk for supporting even some immigration.
"Dittmann" responds to one post by saying "you are a maggot and Elon has done more in his 20s than you will ever do in your entire pathetic life." The account also said Musk isn't an incel because "Elon is a father who gets lots of sex." Finally, the account calls Elon "a fren," which is cringe.

Musk is a father, yes, of 11 living children with three different women, most of whom were conceived via IVF. He is also a creepy pronatalist worried about "population collapse" and who bought a secret Texas compound for his family. He is (allegedly) a ketamine-addled conspiracy theorist who seems to only support immigration if it helps make him even richer.
Now we get to see how much longer he has influence on Trump before the president gets tired of sharing the spotlight.
