She tracked down Dittmann, a German living in Fiji, and published the story in The Spectator.

Not so, says Sweet.
You cant share her story on X.
When you try, the site returns an error.
If you havent been following the Dittmann-Musk saga, then good for you.
You made healthy choices as 2024 rolled into 2025.
As Dittmann prattled on about how amazing Musk was, people noticed something strange.
Dittmann sounded like Musk.
Not a little bit,but a lot.
The first time people noticed the similarities between themwas in 2023when they both appeared in a space together.
This 2023 conversation was a key part of Sweets investigation.
The two sound similar and Dittmann explained his accent during the July 2023 X space.
I grew up in Gibraltar, lived in Morocco for a few years, he said.
He also said, I can tell you Im in Oceania.
According to Sweet, these details fit the Fiji-based Dittmann she tracked down.
Sweet pointed out on X that the accents and writing styles are different.
Not only is Adrian Dittmans accent different from Elon Musks accent, they write completely differently.

During its posts, the Dittmann account revealed something:it had X admin access.
Thats a weird thing to have for a random blue check.
In the bottom right-hand corner, under the trending board, are two buttons most users dont have.
Admin portal and bans.
Its also impossible to know if the screenshot they posted is legitimate.
Faking a screenshot leads to more questions, which makes this story all the more exhausting.
Musk has alsobeen caughtusing alt accounts before.
In 2023, Musk posted a screenshot of an X account that showed one of his burner accounts.
That alt has since been suspended.
Musk was only too happy to play along.
I am Adrian Dittmann.
Its time the world knew, hesaid in a replyto Sweet posting her Spectator story on X.
The initial post he replied to has since been removed because it violated the X Rules.
