Elon Musk Reportedly Woke Up Twitter Engineers at 2 AM Because his Super Bowl Tweet Wasn’t Getting Enough Likes

(Spoiler from 2025 — it has not been fixed)

In connoreatspants legendary Adrian Dittmann interview, Adrian cited this Spiderman meme as a favorite…. but I legit don’t think he understands it.

“No question that there was a coup.”

The way he summons Community Notes always annoys me.

He loves this picture of himself — quickest way to get your tweet boosted.

Musk will not use the word racist if talking about black or Latino people.

Musk boosts this guy a lot, and he’s become prolific in Trump’s full-scale Propaganda campaign.

… or as Pam Bondi would put it – Joe Biden saved 50 Million lives

Based

“concedes”

… He’s got “Teslaconomics” serving as his harassment wing man, photoshopping her to Musk’s preferred blonde, and offering to set up a date with an uninterested woman.

Born in December 2022 – it’s a girl.

“Grimes says her daughter’s life will err on the private side. ‘”‘The best situation here is me training the girl and (Musk) training the boy.’”

Musk allowed Grimes to have a girl, but it seems to have been with the condition she give up rights to the boy.

Considering a denial from Musk is usually confirmation of a story, it’s frustrating he’s a good enough source for a Community Note.

Compared to the over-the-top rage Musk displays over any perceived slight, his Bannon replies have convinced me he’s legit quite scared of him.

Toralf Dittmann is either a really persistent Elon Musk fan who wants to partner up with Musk on something, or he is tweeting on behalf of Musk, or Musk is tweeting as Dittmann.

This time, Toralf tweet proposes a massive solar plant at the then Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minster of Fiji, as well as a local reporter.

Quickly followed up with a RT at @elonmusk, and another Giga Fiji tweet.

One of his many consistent lies

….

Only 14 names were published, and they included:

Not explicitly “Sex Pest”, but definite Sex Pest energy.

Musk claims to have “just learned” of this “bs”

“It is too round at the top. This is not scary. Pointy is scary.”

Should of focused more on it not blowing up.

Insult to injury that he was also stiffing them on rent.

He has all the subtly and humor of a dick in your ass. Just an absolutely porn-addled brain.

He loves this joke.

Adrian also enjoys the joke.

He does the same thing with “hate speech”, and quickly complies with censorship requests from authoritarian governments.

… or something like that.

This Space has since been removed, but it appears (per comments) Adrian made a terrible impression and pissed a lot of people off.

“TruthGPT”, because fate loves irony.

Not a “sex pest” worthy tweet on its own, but back when he was trying to get her attention without openly offering to impregnate her.

Steve Bannon Blasts ‘Stone Cold Liar’ Elon Musk

“Elon Musk is a stone cold liar. His paymasters in Beijing have given him strict orders to suppress the leading ‘SuperHawk’ Anti-CCP Voices …Elon Musk is a running dog for The [Chinese Communist Party] totally and completely compromised by their financial ownership of Tesla Shanghai…”

“Hey, Space Daddy”

Musk outs his ‘Test account” alt via screenshot. Likely to distract from the alt he’s going to use to learn Twitter Spaces and self-promote.

This might be Adrian’s second space, but neither are saved/recorded.

Elon is unaware that this is not the energy that normal people come into their very first Spaces with. He’s too much of a narcissist to not act like a dictator.

Per the photos from the 2025 Spectator story, the real life Adrian does seem to have an acne problem, so props to Musk for the attention to detail.

There is no denial or explanation on why he sounds exactly like Musk, and this seems to be what ends up pissing off the Musk stans.

@ 1:55 — “Adrian, are you Elon’s alt account?”

“…. Why?”

As Adrian starts doing more Spaces, and heavily promoting it as an X feature, he reveals himself as an insufferable know-it-all who is not as a smart as he claims.

This seems to be what cements those who sniffed out the Dittmann account early in their certainty that he is “not Elon”. An overzealous fanboy at best, perhaps even an actual scam artist whose plans they thwarted by calling him out.

No one seemed capable of believing that the richest man in the world – the genius, the innovator, the savior of humanity – had that sort of time on his hands.

Adrian pissed a lot of people off early because they assumed him to be a grifter attempting to trick people into thinking he was Elon Musk. Most all of his early haters seemed to believe he couldn’t be Elon because Adrian was a know-it-all who actually didn’t know much of anything. He was also pretty obnoxious. And no one seemed to believe that a man “running 5 companies” had so much time on his hands.

Shane (@TurtleofTime12) is quite sure he’s a grifter, and that he’s not Elon Musk.

Why (and how) would Adrian appear out of nowhere with a Team?

38:54 – “I think I have to make a declaration as well. I think quite a lot of you will notice that my voice sounds remarkably similar to Elon Musk’s, and just this morning I had a bit of a meltdown situation with a bunch of people accusing me of basically being an impersonator. Let me get something clear. I am not Elon Musk. I may sound like him, I may talk like him, I may have similar traits due to my condition – which is Asperger’s obviously, which I’m pretty sure we can give the explanation on later. But, yeah that’s the deal. I am not Elon. Please stop messaging me, please stop calling me Elon, please stop calling me a damn grifter, this is not what’s going on – also that word’s being overused, especially in this context, and basically I’m here to bring people together, and if you haven’t noticed that I’m not Elon Musk, well, I’m sorry.. that’s just <laughs in Elon> that’s just, I don’t know, so yeah please stop. Stop.”

40:20 – Dittmann mentions a wife who started calling him “Space Daddy”

Elon Musk’s impending takeover of Twitter has many people probing his public statements and his past for clues about how he will shape one of the world’s most influential public platforms.

But Mr. Musk, best known for owning the companies Tesla and SpaceX, has not talked much in public about a significant swath of his past: How growing up as a white person under the racist apartheid system in South Africa may have shaped him.

“It’s telling — white kids were insulated from the harsh reality of it,” said Terence Beney, who is white and graduated with Mr. Musk from Pretoria Boys High School in 1988.

Interviews with relatives and former classmates reveal an upbringing in elite, segregated white communities that were littered with anti-Black government propaganda, and detached from the atrocities that white political leaders inflicted on the Black majority.

Mr. Musk, 50, grew up in the economic hub of Johannesburg, the executive capital of Pretoria and the coastal city of Durban. His suburban communities were largely shrouded in misinformation. Newspapers sometimes arrived on doorsteps with whole sections blacked out, and nightly news bulletins ended with the national anthem and an image of the national flag flapping as the names of white young men who were killed fighting for the government scrolled on the screen.

“We were really clueless as white South African teenagers. Really clueless,” said Melanie Cheary, a classmate of Mr. Musk’s during the two years he spent at Bryanston High School in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, where Black people were rarely seen other than in service of white families living in palatial homes.

Mr. Musk left South Africa shortly after graduation at 17 to go to college in Canada, barely ever looking back. He did not respond to emails requesting comment about his childhood.

Mr. Musk has heralded his purchase of Twitter as a victory for free speech, having criticized the platform for removing posts and banning users. It is unclear what role his childhood — coming up in a time and place in which there was hardly a free exchange of ideas and where government misinformation was used to demonize Black South Africans — may have played in that decision.

Mr. Musk’s father, Errol Musk, said in an interview with The New York Times that Elon, his brother and sister were aware from a young age that there was something wrong with the apartheid system. Errol, who was elected to the Pretoria City Council in 1972, said they would ask him about the laws prohibiting Black people from patronizing restaurants, movie theaters and beaches. They had to make calculations when they were going out with nonwhite friends about what they could safely do, he said.

“As far as being sheltered from it, that’s nonsense. They were confronted by it every day,” recalled Errol, who said he belonged to the anti-apartheid Progressive Party. He added, “They didn’t like it.”

Still, Errol offered a description of their lives that underscored how removed they were from the country’s violent reality. They got along well with Black people, he said, pointing to his children’s good relationship with their domestic staff, and he described life in South Africa during apartheid as being mostly better and safer than it is now.

According to a biography of Mr. Musk, written by Ashlee Vance, Mr. Musk said he did not want to partake in South Africa’s mandatory military service because it would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime — and that may have contributed to his decision to leave South Africa shortly after high school graduation.

The apartheid system created a distinction among white people, specifically between those who spoke Afrikaans and those who spoke English, like Mr. Musk’s family. While political power lay with the Afrikaners — the perfecters of apartheid who descended from Dutch, German and French settlers — English-speaking white South Africans enjoyed wealth that felt to some like a birthright, Ms. Cheary said.

“We were the white, English-speaking elite of the world,” she said. “It was literally our kingdom.”

Pretoria Boys had a socially progressive undercurrent. The school’s headmaster had participated in freedom struggle activities; some students would travel to anti-apartheid gatherings.

“I’m pretty confident in saying that at a place like Pretoria Boys High, you were exposed to progressive ideas, even if you didn’t adopt them,” said Mr. Beney, 51, who does policy work for public health and social welfare organizations.

Yet none of them experienced the beatings and gunshots of state security forces like the Black children who were fighting for basic rights in township schools. And many students bought into government propaganda, Mr. Beney said.

He recalled a debate in one of his classes at Pretoria Boys in the mid-1980s over the government’s requirement that they serve in the military, squashing efforts by Black South Africans to defeat an oppressive regime.

A slight few said they would refuse to kill on behalf of an unjust political system. But others said that while apartheid had its injustices, the country was in an all-out war. Some insisted that the fight was to protect against communists. Others justified the battle by arguing that Black people were susceptible to evil ideas.

Another common trope among students back then, Mr. Beney said, was that Black people could not be trusted with the right to vote because they had no tradition of democracy.

The apartheid system had forced the Black majority to live in certain areas. The way that was taught in school was that the country was made up of many tribes, with some opting for independence in their own homelands, according to Stanley Netshituka, who became the first Black student at Pretoria Boys in 1981.

Mr. Netshituka said he had some friends from liberal families who understood how bad things were for Black South Africans. But they were the exception, he said.

“I would say the majority were blissfully ignorant and happy to be blissfully ignorant,” said Mr. Netshituka, 54, who was allowed to attend the school because his father was a diplomat for Venda, one of the ethnic homelands in South Africa that was considered a semi-independent nation at the time.

In the same breath, classmates would call Black freedom fighters terrorists but tell him that, “Not all Black people are necessarily bad because I can see you’re not so bad,” he recalled.

Mr. Musk became friends with a cousin of Mr. Netshituka’s, Asher Mashudu, according to Mr. Mashudu’s brother, Nyadzani Ranwashe. One time at lunch, a white student used an anti-Black slur, and Mr. Musk chided the student, but then got bullied for doing so, Mr. Ranwashe said.

Mr. Mashudu was killed in a car accident in 1987, and Mr. Ranwashe said he remembered Mr. Musk being one of only a handful of white people who attended the funeral in the family’s rural village.

“It was unheard of during that time,” he said.

Errol Musk, who worked as an engineer, said that his family did not buy into the negative propaganda about freedom fighters, some of whom had resorted to violent sabotage to combat a regime that stripped them of political rights and freedoms like choosing where to live.

“But, I mean, we were concerned about them putting off a bomb next to our house, for example,” he said.

Errol Musk, who has been estranged from Elon, said he believed that apartheid had taught his son not to discriminate. But Elon’s electric car company, Tesla, has faced serious accusations of racism. The state of California is investigating accusations that the company allowed racial discrimination against Black employees to flourish in its factory in the San Francisco area. Tesla was also ordered to pay $15 million to a Black employee after a jury found last year that the company had failed to address the racism he faced at work.

Elon Musk has largely recalled his life in South Africa as traumatic and unfulfilling. Born in Pretoria, about 45 minutes north of Johannesburg, his parents divorced before he was 10. He moved to Durban on the country’s south coast with his mother, but then returned to live with his father in Pretoria. They had a tense relationship, Mr. Musk has said.

At Bryanston High, where Mr. Musk completed the first two years of the five-year South African high school curriculum, he recalled being bullied heavily.

If Bryanston High was said to be traumatic for him, Mr. Musk found more stability at Pretoria Boys, a sprawling campus fit for a Harry Potter set, with a forest of evergreens, a pond and English-revival buildings.

Some students lived on campus, while others, like Mr. Musk, commuted from home and were known as “day boys.”

The specter of apartheid was imbued in the culture. Like many other schools of that era, there was a cadet program that groomed the boys for military service. They would wear brown uniforms and do marching drills. There was a Scottish pipe band.

Mr. Musk’s current views on free speech seem to reflect the philosophies students were exposed to at Pretoria Boys, said Mr. Beney, the classmate — like that of the English philosopher John Stuart Mill, a champion of unchecked expression.

“I think his ideas about free speech are very classic liberal and not nuanced,” Mr. Beney said of Mr. Musk.

Some who knew Mr. Musk from his young days in South Africa said people should not discount the evolution he could have gone through once he left apartheid and South Africa behind. Andrew Panzera, who was in German class with Mr. Musk at Bryanston High, recalled his own transformation.

As a white student coming up in the placid Johannesburg suburbs, he never saw the suffering of his Black counterparts. That changed, though, when he did his government-mandated military service.

“People, at some point, realize that they’ve been fed a whole lot of crap,” he said. “At some point you go, ‘Jeepers, we really were indoctrinated to a large extent.’”

Short answer – no.

Elon Musk using his wholly owned platform to disparage a competitor. Again.

1:08 – Someone asks Adrian about “racial undertones” of his “interesting” tweet on crime stats by racial demographics. Musk is not used to anyone acknowledging his racist tweets and starts rambling and stammering.

Adrian comes in at the halfway point, 2 hours and 24 minutes.

I like to believe that the people who come in hot with their annoyance towards Adrian aren’t people who don’t think he’s Elon Musk, but the people who are sure he is.

“I thought this was Crypto Twitter. I have no idea why we’re talking about Mars and light years…”

2 hours and 15 minutes – Adrian enters the space with a belch

Adrian hasn’t been participating in Spaces for that long, but a lot of people seem to already genuinely not like him.

Xintani has very specific beef involving how full of shit he is.

“You spoke like an expert on things you don’t understand.” <– and this is why so many people refuse to believe the man is exactly who he sounds like.

“Get the fake-ass Elon up here – and we can pretend they’re going to fix Twitter.”

Adrian joins 10 minutes in but the host advises he will not be speaking, “permanent mute”.

The name on the account is deliberately long, so that the (parody) that comes at the end isn’t going to be visible on the app or most browsers, and someone would have to click to the profile in order to see the designation.

Musk (probably) knows he’s responding to a parody — but per his new blue-check rules, and moderation only applying to critics of him — it’s deliberately not obvious to a casual scroller.

Targeted harassment, from the owner of the platform, again.

The gaslighting by his favorite users is part of the PsyOp.

One thing I have had to come to terms with in my research is that a lot of people really hate women, and there will never be a shortage of people willing to go to bat for Elon Musk. No matter what.

It’s an old joke, but anything to get her attention. I believe this is what the boys once called “negging”

Maybe Adrian Dittmann can interview John Barron instead.

The tweet has since been deleted.

Adrian was interacting with this woman a lot in the summer of 2023.

…. Per her LinkedIn (May 2025), Jessica is a “citizen journalist” on the ground in Starbase, TX.

… and, as posted just a few hours ago (5/25/25), she’s pregnant.

Direct baby mama, or on-site surrogate?

“I welcomed with great pleasure today at Palazzo Chigi @elonmusk. A very fruitful meeting and a moment of great cordiality where we addressed some crucial issues: innovation, opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence, European market regulations, and birth rates. Onward toward the future challenges that unite us.”

… He was just joking about the crystal meth, of course.

I believe Musk’s character largely exists so he can learn about stuff.

… this one began a little after 2 am, Paris time.

“I am confident that Tesla will be in India and will do so as soon as humanly possible,” he said, without specifying a timeline. Musk said he tentatively plans to visit India next year.

… anyone who has ever dealt with Twitter support in general (let alone post-Elon) knows that “extremely fast” is not their thing.

Musk deliberately kills one of the most iconic brands of the digital age to replace it with a variable.
