I'm obviously out of the loop. What happened?

Adrian Dittmann, the one replying to Musk in this tweet, is apparently Musk's alt account.
Oh God. How pathetic is it that you create and alt to play with yourself. That's like getting mad at your imaginary friend for ghosting you.
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
Nah the blue check mark is quite random now that musk owns twitter
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).
Edit:
Screw that AI noise, here’s a better article

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.
For anyone who, like me, wasn't going to play the clip at the above link, holy crap go do so. It's incredibly comical.
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.
Having rich parents is part of the luck. What's better than gambling with your vast fortune? Gambling with someone else's vast fortune.
Our society is structured so that the rich fail upwards, and Elon is a huge failure so he floats the best.
Makes sense why he and trump get along.
"No puppet no puppet you're the puppet"
He’s rich cuz daddy gave him starter funds and he got lucky investing in paypal (which he tried to name X).
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?

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.
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'm pretty sure they where named Tesla before Musk first invested in them.
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.
I think an Edison-like company appropriating Tesla's name is peak Edison behavior.
Voice changer software is super cheap too
Welp, even with voice modulation "Adrian" sounds just like Elon. The speech patterns line up to the point I couldn't much tell he was using voice mod at all.
I am well acquainted with tricking drug addicts. I’ve been to Phish concerts.
Glorious.
Guy reads like a huge asshole in his own right though.
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
Trolling someone to the point of emotional dysregulation is kind of a big hint to that end though.
Samesies. Wtf happened? Lol
