After days of hypothesis that X proprietor Elon Musk was secretly posting below an account named Adrian Dittman, new proof suggests Dittman is, in truth, an actual individual dwelling in Fiji.
Attempts to attach Dittman and Musk return at the least to 2023; Dittman ceaselessly makes fawning posts about Musk, and his voice (as heard on quite a few X Spaces) sounds fairly related.
But a narrative in The Spectator seems to have recognized the actual Dittman, the son of a German software program entrepreneur who’s began a number of firms in Fiji. This Dittman was included in a Fijian authorities video of a latest warehouse opening.
Hacker and author maia arson crimew subsequently took credit score for working with Ryan Fae to trace Dittman down. In a weblog put up, they supplied extra detailed proof that the Dittman in Fiji is the Dittman on X — for one factor, the Dittman within the warehouse video seems to be sporting the identical ring as one featured in a number of cooking movies that Dittman posted (and subsequently deleted) on X.
Crimew wrote that the Spectator article was not “superb” and that the pair was “sad with how our work was used with out credit score.”
