There can be no honest discussion about Twitter personality Adrian Dittmann without acknowledging that there are two distinct questions:

• Who is Adrian Dittmann?
• Who plays Adrian Dittmann on X?

The second question is far less of a mystery than the first, but both are complicated by a full-scale gaslighting campaign that’s been orchestrated by the (sometimes) richest man on earth, enabled by his army of sycophants, and sustained by a glut of useful idiots and selectively blind government regulators.

Thanks to freelance journalist Jacqueline Sweet, a pair of hackers, and Paul Marshall’s purchase of The Spectator – we know there is a young German man living in Fiji named Adrian Dittmann. (1/4/2025 – The real Adrian Dittmann, with an uncredited assist – The Adrian Dittmann Story).

We know that the person @adriandittmann has based his Twitter character on, as the actual person shares distinct autobiographical details that align with statements made by him on Spaces. (from acne prone skin to time spent living in Gibraltar.)

We also know that the man behind @adriandittmann is Elon Musk. We know this because some truths are self-evident, no matter what the professional liars tell you. Despite Elon Musk’s repeated insistence — we do NOT live in a simulation. Yet. There is still objective truth, and tangible realty, and the Dittmann Files is about documentation above all else.

Here’s what I don’t know: the connection between the two. It’s hard to understand why the real Adrian would just hand over his identity to Elon Musk, but I’ve spent enough time on Twitter to know that he’d hardly be the first. (Yes, I recognize the irony that I’ve done the same. I concede my madness, and can only hope its temporary)

Admittedly, the connection is a pretty big piece to not know. Part of why I started this ridiculous project was that I’m convinced is it’s all out there already, no in depth investigation or flight to Fiji required¹. Musk is a stream of consciousness tweeter, he’s seemingly incapable of regulating his emotions, and he is cocky af. He keeps running real time transcripts of his criminality… but I really needed to see it all weaved.

The Everything Timeline is an ambitious project, and it feels a bit like I’m falling into a Stephen Wright joke — either the one about his “actual size” map of the United States, or the world’s largest seashell collection that he keeps scattered on beaches all over the world.

The Timeline is primarily for me to try and make sense of it all. Like a lot of things I do, I got carried away in some spots, and haven’t done nearly enough in others. I’m making this live while it’s still very much a work in progress, so pardon the mess.

The bottom line is I think it’s important, and I had the time. Hopefully you will find it useful.

I’m not equipped with the ability to stop the billionaire techbro takeover, so I will bear witness.

Something to share? I can be reached at dittmannfiles@gmail.com

Thanks.
