    Adrian Dittmann, the one replying to Musk in this tweet, is apparently Musk's alt account.

    Don't blue check marks get paid based on their number of views cause of ads and "creator payout" stuff? Is this Musk's side hustle lmao

    I haven’t heard a single peep of anyone getting paid by twitter since the first few checks went out. I don’t think he’s doing that anymore and it was always completely arbitrary who got paid (by which I mean it was only popular accounts that he liked).

    Oh my fucking god. I only mostly read his tweets and quotes, never really hearing Musk talk much, especially not in a "debate". I didn't realize how incredibly childish, arrogant, and downright moronic he was in an argument. All he does is talk over a well-articulated point before the person could finish it by insulting the other party and laughing dumbly at his own joke as if he had made some sort of zinger. And the very few times he doesn't do that he uses blatant strawman arguments.

    This is literally like a child yelling back "Oh yeah?Well, your face is stupid!" How the fuck is this person the richest person on Earth? He wouldn't even be able to keep a fast food employee job.

    Elon Musk is proof that being rich does not require competence, intelligence, or hard work. (Hint: it's luck and having rich parents)

    Actually, it also necessitates a minimal ability to play the sidelines, manipulate and trick people and a complete lack of morality to use those abilities. He didn't found Tesla. He stole it from its original founders by placing people who were loyal to him on the board.

    Money can buy expensive voice modulation software, but it apparently can't buy one's way out of stupidity. Using the same speech patterns, grammar, inflection, and laugh... he really isn't the brightest spark in the tesla coil, is he?

    He never had the right to use the name Tesla, especially because Tesla was the underdog in electricity that was burned by the same capitalism he’s championing. He’s hired very smart people and then thinks that by hiring said people he’s on their level, classic capitalist mistake

    I don't know why, but I find it very funny that Elon is basically Edison and using Tesla's name and also that there's an underdog electric truck company named Edison motors that's basically making a fully electric semi with an onboard motor specifically because the dude got fucked on a Tesla semi.

    To do otherwise would require the awareness that other people have different speech patterns. I'm surprised his narcissism let him think using a different name would influence people.

    Holy shit. Elon or not that guy is embarrassing to listen to.

    He adds nothing of value to the conversation and just throws insults to deflect. The most cringe worthy, brain rot insults possible.

    This country is fucked.

    Just another data point that shows you don't need to be smart to be rich.

    I am well acquainted with tricking drug addicts. I’ve been to Phish concerts.

    Glorious.

    Yeah, he's citing Trump, talking about symbology and Baphomet armour, presenting half-baked arguments as if he has a video of Elon saying that was him. I mean, it probably was, but this reads like a conspiracy theory
