(There’s also a4chan archiveif you want to go deep on the whole thing, but do note that it’s awash in racism, homophobia, and transphobia—it’s 4chan, after all—and adjust your expectations accordingly.)

It’s impossible to prove a negative and so there’s a good likelihood that this madness will drag on for a long time to come, unless Musk either biffs it so badly that denial isn’t possible, or he’s forced to reveal the truth in another lawsuit deposition. For now, we can at least take some small comfort in the one thing in the online world that never lets us down: memes.

Elon is a father who gets lots of sex

Update:Following the initial kerfuffle over Adrian Dittman’s real identity, which blew up even further after Dittmann took part in a three-hour stream with Twitch streamerConnorEatsPants, Maia Arson Crimew and Ryan Fae published adeep-dive analysiswhich they said provided “concrete evidence” that Dittman is not Elon Musk. Or, at least, that Adrian Dittman is a real person and not merely a construct of Musk’s imagination.

It’s a convincing argument as far as it goes, but leaves open the question of whether Musk has access to or control over Dittman’s social media presence to any extent, which is a much more difficult question to answer. Musk himself seemed eager to continue fanning the flames of confusion, writing onXover the weekend (presumably not as a serious confession, but who can tell), “I am Adrian Dittmann. It’s time the world knew.”

I am Adrian Dittmann. It’s time the world knew

I think it’s still safe to say that for now, the world does not really know at all.
