Yes! It would be very easy for Elon to have used AI voice for this conversation. Especially as he / “Adrian” was barely having a back and forth dialogue and was mostly just making statements.

If you program your voice and your key concepts early on, you are very well equipped for any moment like this.

Exactly. It was SO ELON! LOL

Did you listen last night?

I have listened for months to him. From the beginning I knew it was Elon. He's a billionaire. Creating an AI voice and other voiceovers is child's play next to building rockets! Gaslighting always from so many. Drones are airplanes, you cannot tell the difference.. don't you know?!

Every time I have listened to Adrian (many), I feel like it's a gaslighting situation going on. I was so uncomfortable with it I finally unfollowed him. From my brain to my gut I know it's Elon. Others listening keep saying, "wow you sound like Elon but we know you're not, right? Okay then moving on...". I'd say to myself, "self, darn this sure sounds like Elon, I know this is Elon, THEY keep saying it's not Elon. I KNOW IT'S ELON." Jessica, given everything that's going on right now, I have settled the gut matter once and for all. It's Elon Musk. I know it. No more gaslighting. I've always been told I'm a person who has excellent intuition, excellent "woman antennas". Why would I ignore it. Also, Occam's razor for anyone else. Just saying.

Well, this is the fun conspiracy theory I didn’t expect at the end of the year. 😂 There is a conspiracy either way-either Elon is pretending to be someone else so he can speak more freely, or this guy “Adrian” is leaning into letting people think he’s Elon so he gets more followers or because he’s a troll. The whole episode points to how AI is changing what we know of reality-in the future hearing someone will not be enough to know whether it’s really him.

That's exactly how I see it, too.

Remember when Trump (was recorded) pretending to be a guy named Barron while speaking with a New York newspaper reporter in about the 90’s-ish? Elon is just taking a cue from Daddy Trump!

Tyler, the Creator dropping a beat on Kendrick’s Not Like us hitting on Christmas. Now this?? I did not have “AI Elon” on my Bingo Card either. Both are great tho!!! I’m enjoying all of it. 😂

I will say, listening to the convos in the bottom links “Adrian” sounds more British than “Elon” does to me. E doesn’t annunciate the typical British sound you hear. It’s been a bit more American-ized. Is anyone hearing that or is it just me? Close you eyes and imagine a different person talking. Idk?!? Sped up in the short sound bite tho AI Elon sounds more like Elon but with voice distortion. How many impersonators do we know over time who sound like the real thing?? All very interesting.

I listened to a space where they were both on it and it seemed like they were 2 different people? Yes they sound alike but they were talking to each other and at times laughing at the same time. Additionally have you seen those voice changers where it makes someone sound like Richard Attenborough? You would swear it was him. I suspect whoever Dittman is, he’s using an Elon voice changer to sound nearly the same.

I’m leaning towards this as well. It’s just too formal “British” sounding to me.

Agreed.

I think if were him he could afford a modulator advanced enough not to sound so much like him. This feels like a huge troll by someone who probably doesn't even know him.

Expand full comment

Agreed. In my opinion, it’s some random person using a voice changer to sound like Elon.

They have been on Twitter space talking at the exact same time. Adrian chews his food loud and has been on live cooking but don’t think he has shown his face. It’s not like Elon has a problem saying controversial things not sure why he would need to hide behind someone.

Unless he's testing new AI features?

As a tech savvy person, it’s something I would 100% do. When you live in tech, hacking stuff is fun. That’s his world.

I don’t know why he would want or need to do it in that kind of forum but always possible. Elons mom weighed in on it as she was in a space with Adrian. 🤔

I think Dittmam is the AI running many functions of X, including scanning the DMs of particular users when entering into conversation with them. Not surprising the creator would use his own voice for his creation.

so true

I’m just not operating in the same world as these people anymore. I don’t understand them, they don’t understand me. How they think, what they do, how they do it, why they do it. Someone told me when I was in college as an English/Critical Theory major, “Read science fiction. Those writers are predicting the future.” Revisiting the truth in that.

If Elon could use something to change his voice couldn’t someone change their voice to be Elon?

I’m lost 😂

Well, Elon has tweeted some clarification to the heated rhetoric and its as I thought. The divide is really not there, what was there was inadequate wording which led to inflated and idiotic wording on both sides. I always believed there was no real distance in what both sides wanted but for some reason it got heated fast over nothing. I also believe Loomer should back off with this clarification by Musk... https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/elon-musk-calls-major-reform-broken-h-1b/

This would make sense to me as well. Republicans are all about merit, hiring based on that—something that Loomer might not be adept at seeing. Yes, we need to hire Americans, but the majority of us see the discrepancies, and being a business owner myself, I totally see both sides.

Hoping we can raise the bar on Academics Excellence and less on transgenderism and DEI focus in the classrooms 👌 🙏🏼

I read about this, too, and it seems very blown out of proportion- yet again.

Or, it’s someone else using a voice changer to sound like Elon.

Loomer could find no better flack, JRK. She has enjoyed several "15" minutes and I was at one of the first, a VIP event in Palm Beach County featuring Roger Stone and Milo Yiannopoulos when she was looking to unseat the very beatable Lois Frankel. Loomer's loss released some very loosely restrained weirdness that chased away most of her support but she has managed to regroup several times now.

Loomer now exists as a side show that is occasionally entertaining. She does have a talent for connecting herself (however tangentially) to rich and famous men. This talent along with her "good looks", may fade over time.

I love when loomer says she doesn’t care about money bahahaha. And then you look to see who she has attached herself.

I do searches online of ppl to get my husband, who is an attorney, new clients. I searched for someone named Adrian Dittman in various databases and there is no such person with that spelling of Adrian. Adrian also sounds almost exactly like him. I think it is Elon. Maybe Elon is coming a bit undone. Not a single one of us can imagine the pressure he is under. It's a lot--too much!

Expand full comment

I don't believe its Elon, I believe its some tech nerd who is completely obsessed with Elon and has created this character that he cosplays. Elon loves it because its flattering and he most likely thinks its funny. Adrian gets emotional when pushed because on some level, he or she believes that they are Elon. I know the type, they convince themselves that they are THE character that they are emulating, whether its King Arthur or Frodo Baggins or Elon Musk.

Well by definition a conspiracy is a secret plan to do something of harm.

Elon's easy.

Jess already pointed out his behaviors from the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp saga.

Elon's trying to program us all that his robotics are of value and of worth. To attach his persona to his product to create is "brand". So he can create a massive robotic manufacturing supply chain.

So he can get richer and continue to program society with what he thinks is for the better of the world.

I'm not denying his ability to make an impact.

Let's just keep in mind what persona(s) we are supporting and we clearly have no idea who Elon is, however I know from Jess' research alone that I see an unhealed man carrying out his trauma on society as a whole.

As are many, many others.

Thank you Jess for your work.
