Users on X believe that platform owner Elon Musk has been secretly operating a burner account in order to lavish praise on himself
This is not the first time Musk has been accused of operating a burner account. In April 2023, Musk shared a screenshot of his profile which appeared to expose a secondary account.
The account, which posed as a toddler, also frequently interacted with Musk’s main profile

and im not saying musk hasn't got sock accounts
I'm just saying lack of evidence that the named account in this instance = nothing confirmed
that would mean every account that praises musk a lot is now gonna be deemed a Musk 'burner account'

@ecksmc I'm pretty sure this is a hallmark of social media everywhere else.
That Spoutible asshat has dozens.
@kel oh the Spoutible dude has loads that's for sure 😂😂 bot army center stage
@ecksmc: TBH, I reckon he *could* have a burner account, but I don't figure he *needs* one. I mean I don't figure he much figures he needs one. He can shut the site down, shut down certain nations or locales or ISPs, or shadow-ban all accounts starting with a particular letter of the alphabet. Also, he gets plenty of praise from dupes.
@ecksmc
He also does the same to attack people who block his @ elonmusk account. I'd be shocked if he has fewer than 10 sockpuppets he alternates between.
@ecksmc The internet's stickiest sock.
idk really think that is bullshit i mean, only real evidence, if you can call it evidence, is the 'burner account' praises Musk a lot 🤷♂️ heck so do loadsa accounts in fact there are accounts that only reply to Musks posts with praise 😆
but that said he has previous for it
