In August 2022, the Tesla boss claimed that he had a finsta with 54 followers. Now the newly ordained overlord of Twitter has revealed his alt accounts. Responding to DogeDesigner, a UX/UI designer, who tweeted about the alleged alt, Elon Musk remarked no one could ever guess it was him all along.

However, one cursory glance at the activities of the supposed alt as exposed by another account, strongly suggests it is the billionaire boss himself. The account goes by the username @ErmnMusk with the profile name ‘Elon Test’, carrying a pic of his 2 year old son X Æ A-12. The last tweet on the account suggests so. When the above user shared the screenshot of the alleged burner account, it had fewer than 50 followers. It has now gained over 41.4k followers.

The ‘Elon Test’ account passes all the checks of being a troll supreme. He is seemingly commenting on his original account’s post and making fun of other accounts that follow him. Among the 34 accounts he follows, Elon Test follows seven pop artists, all female: Taylor Swift, Selene Gomez, Cardi B, Katy Perry, Adele, Rihanna, and Miley Cyrus. Other accounts followed by Elon’s burner include Stephen King, PM Modi, Donald Trump, CNBC, CNN, Kardashian sisters, Mr. Beast, Samuel L Jackson, Ryan Ronalds and others.

Meanwhile, Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer, seemed to have found yet another alt of Elon Musk, that he allegedly transferred to himself within days of his takeover of the app. The owner of the user name @e allegedly did not want to hand over the account. The account was hacked and suspended earlier. This alt has three following – Elon Musk (obviously), NASA, and LAist. The account doesn’t show any activity like ‘Elon Test.’
NEW: Elon Musk has another alt account, @e, that he had Twitter transfer to him shortly after the takeover.
