So, got a
weird one here. Let's start with a little background to help others understand:
Twitter supports the ability of a single user to use multiple accounts. This is common for someone who sometimes tweets in their personal capacity, and other times representing their brand (such as a podcast or Youtube channel). Rather than forcing a user to log out and back in back and forth, you can link the accounts together, and then will allow you to easily switch between them. When you have one of these alternate accounts, Twitter puts a little icon in the corner showing the other accounts profile picture, which you can tap to switch.
This will be important in a minute.
Which brings us to today's story:
Elon posted a screen grab from his Twitter app showing that using the site's premium subscription service, he is earning $120,000 a month. As insane as that sounds all on its own,
that is not why I'm writing this post. In the corner of that screen grab, the profile picture of an alternate account was shown. The existence of this alt account was, to this point, unknown. So people did some digging and they found the account.
Ladies and gentlemen, believe me when I tell you that this is
way weirder than you would have thought.
Elon Musk has been roleplaying as his own 2-year-old son. These tweets have included child-Musk fantasizing about going to night clubs, asking others if they like Japanese girls, complaining about a low follower count, and even responding to Elon Musk's own posts.
