> It’s in the public interest because Musk is one of the most powerful people on the planet and he’s exercising that power quite forcefully these days. But that doesn't mean you should go ahead and hunt for every detail about a person just because they sound like Elon. So if I am a great Elon Musk impersonator should I be doxxed to a huge extent just like in this article / Spectator? All one had to was ask or do a face interview with the person.

People have asked for face interviews. I suspect Adrian is enjoying the attention all the confusion generates. And it’s not “just” because he sounds like Elon. There have been multiple occasions where Adrian has said “I” referring to Elon. Obviously people slip up in speech, but also obviously some people have pseudonyms. Adrian has lots of in-depth knowledge of Tesla/SpaceX, shows up in the same circles as Elon constantly, has an obscene Twitter addiction (i.e. just participated in a 10 hour live audio chat), defends Elon at every chance including in deeply weird/personal ways like “you are such an amazing father Elon” on pictures of Elon and his kids. It’s all quite weird and people are absolutely justified to be curious what the fuck is going on.

  The same of what you said to me can be also applied to the "roon (@tszzl)" account on X, it has been widely speculated that that account is Sam Altman, works at OpenAI, knows about 'AGI', and also speaks in riddles. Now that we know 'the truth' that Adrian Dittman is not Elon (it was an elaborate inside joke by the way) Should we both together make a large extensive public exposé on the roon (@tszzl) X account to find out the truth because we are curious about what the fuck is going on?

    Sure! Let’s play it out: 1) Does Roon’s speaking voice sound almost identical to Altman’s? 2) Did Altman’s own child say Roon is his alt account? 3) Does Roon sometimes say “I” in place of “he” when speaking about Altman? 4) Does Roon call the base of Altman’s political party of choice (of which he’s a central figure) names like “crackheads?” If the answer is “yes” to all of these, then I wouldn’t find it weird at all for someone to spend time digging into it.

      Not extensive enough. I expect a very curious individual such as yourself to make the same or if not higher level of analysis as the one on Adrian Dittmann for roon. All of this information without their consent, including their close family and friends, children and other information about where they live, their private information floating on the internet and who they work and their work history (all blurred out of course). Then we can definitely conclude that roon is or is not Altman, we both know that roon and Altman work at OpenAI so you can start your investigation there.

        Uhhh I must not have been clear. I'm playing out whether the situations are similar enough for it to be justifiable for someone to dig into it. That was not an attempt to actually figure it out, just like I didn't actually attempt to figure out the Dittmann thing.
