MODERATORS
And all of the Reddit moderators looked in awe and decided to behave just like him.
Only problem is that they aren't getting the kind of money he does for it.
Not the mods, literally the admins. Steve idolizes Musk.
Jokes on you all the old mods were banned and replaced by admin approved bootlickers
Only the good ones left or so I hear. Reddit is blacklisted in my router NFTables.

You're totally right. You're an amazing lemming, roadkill.

You're a shit father, Elon.
There, he can't delete that.
You think he wouldn't buy lemmy.world?
He might, but that's the whole point of federation - there's hundreds of other instances (including the one you're using) that he can't buy all at once. If one instance gets taken over, Lemmy as a whole is still strong.
Even if he buys the organization developing Lemmy, I have faith the community will fork it and everyone will stop using Musk's version.

A "burner" account? Never heard it called that before. "Sock puppet" or just "puppet" makes much more sense.
It’s pretty common for people to refer to these types of accounts as burners on Twitter. I recall the GM of the 76ers getting in trouble about 5-10 years ago for having sock puppet accounts on Twitter and all the reporting referred to them as burners.
Drug culture is more well known among normies than nerd culture, is what we're saying here.
Yes. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Big shout out to drugs for winning the war…
It's like a burner phone, you use it for a short time, then throw it away. Like throwaway accounts on reddit. A sockpuppet is specifically to make it look like multiple people have a certain opinion (see also: astroturfing).
So in the case of the article in question, then, this absolutely refers to a "sockpuppet" and not a "burner" because Adrian Dittmann isn't going anywhere.

How. Fucking. Pathetic. Do you have to be. To have an entire army of sycophants. And that's still not enough for your ego.
It honestly makes me genuinely sad. He definitely has complexes and holes in his soul to conduct this behavior. Doesn't excuse him from being a complete asshole though.
Why are you sad about this piece of shit? He'd never pay you the same mind.
I revel in the insecurities and smallness of these exploitative, parasitic wastes of air.
You can always feel empathy. The more you try the better person you'll become.
Don't be like sad rich guy, be better.

Rich stupid guy doing things is not technology. Why is this community flooded with this guy doing or saying things?

Oh Elon. You're gonna need a whole lot more Ketamine to convince yourself you're a good father.
X has two rules. Don’t talk shit about Elon, and don’t talk shit about the dictators he wants to get cozy to.
All that money and power and no added happiness or joy. So unloved he has to fake it. I always knew absurd wealth doesn't actually improve a person, but thanks for constantly proving it over and over again anyway Elon. Glad to know you'll die unhappy.

It's called a sockpuppet account you noobs. 🙄
😅
Huh? Doesn't everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn't a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?
Celebrities do use PR agencies but Musk is known for not having PR teams at any of his companies.
He is the stupidest billionaire.

How exactly was it proven? Not defending Elon, I'm genuinely curious. The article mentions an audio recording sounding similar to Elon and some weird praises on Twitter. How does that connect the Dittmann account to Elon though?
Agreed. I strongly dislike Elon and think he is a thin skinned trust fund baby who is destroying Tesla and already destroyed Twitter. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least to find out he is using sock accounts to praise himself… but in this article all I see are people making accusations without solid evidence. Yes, it appears he banned the guy accusing him but we already know that Elon will ban his critics whether or not those critics’ accusations are real. There is nothing here showing that the account is anything but one of his braindead fanboys.
It’s one thing to take these accusations and try to find solid evidence. It’s another to treat the accusations as solid evidence itself. Let’s be better than the conspiracy theorists.

This is some late 90s web forum admin tyrant drama. Wait until he finds out he can use phpmyadmin to edit other peoples posts.

You know, I always thought money would make me happy. But he seems so much more insecure and miserable than I ever was.
I've unfortunately worked for multiple multi-millionaires. The richer they were, the more insanely insecure in ways that would blow your mind. The richest would often leave his bank account open on his computer for his staff to see, among so many other examples.

This is so sad, Alexa play Despacito
Joined by conspiracy theorist David Icke, who believes that the world’s top leaders are actually lizards, Jones and his guest both questioned whether they were actually talking to Musk based on the individual’s eerily similar speech.
There’s.. there’s a lot to unpack here. I’m truly saddened that this version of me ended up in the bizarre timeline; I wonder how my other selves are doing.

what a pathetic fucking cunt
- there are enough people on elons dick for this to be a legit account
It's just amazing that probably the one man who least needs to give a crap about anything has such a thin skin. All of his money can't seem to resolve his deep insecurity.
Shame guys, maybe Elon really isn't ok and all he really needs is a hug, and someone to tell him he is a good dad.
Also, Elon, if you're reading this, I will tell you whatever shitty lies you wanna hear, in the most convincing tone you need to hear it, if you give twitter back, free of charge, to it's prior owners

Too much social media does make you insecure and he owns one lol
Not sure why the title says Elon nuked the account for outing him when the account owner says in the article that he left on his own accord due to doxxing
