I believe the major proof is that nobody's been able to reverse search a different source for the avatar of the alt, which is 100% a photo of his son, and it was there before the alt got found yesterday

But he can’t be that loving st—ah, you know, they might be onto something then.

wanna hear some more details of this if it's true.

It's currently something I saw drifting around the reddit threads talking about this. People having a peek at his likes mentioned noticing some shifty stuff in them, but I haven't found a link to it yet and i'm not so social media brained that i'm going to trawl through his alt account just to get an own so take it with a grain of salt.

All that being said given some of the personalities he follows I can believe one of them said something like that at some point. Whether it was liked specifically is another matter.

Yes, the dexerto tweet which signal boosted the Elon subscriber numbers screenshot alerted people that he has an alt account, and someone actually found it

uh, what??? the cave rescue was in a place called Chiang Rai Province, which is in the north of the country. According to this map Pattaya is in the south of the country (at least, assuming Pattaya and Phatthaya are the same place)

and before anyone accuses me of knowing a suspicious amount about Thai geography, I've never been to Thailand - I looked this up because I recalled Pattaya being brought up in the Bitcoin threads as a place popular with sex tourists, and I didn't recall it being mentioned at all in connection with the cave rescue.

Huh, apparently it came up in the rescue story because "Pattaya Beach" was the name of the cave chamber in which they were trapped, and had nothing to do with the town of Pattaya otherwise. I did not actually know this.

But my whole point is that there is nothing untoward about knowing Thai geography or traveling there; the telling part is that Elon Musk, a friend of Ghislaine Maxwell, knows only of the sex tourism hotspots for some reason.

If he changed his alt on the 30th then all the horny posts predate the name/pfp change, and Christ I hope that he truly didn't mean to hornypost as his own kid (but he was an idiot and never bothered to delete the previous tweets)

After university I travelled to SE Asia, visited Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, and in my experience there's a certain type of online person who's likely never left their home town who thinks the only reason anybody would ever visit these (very beautiful and fun countries) is for the weird/illegal sex trade.

In today's update on the dying hellsite, I'm getting an ad/promoted tweet literally every 5th tweet on my timeline. Absolutely infested, the place is.

Also got logged out again for blocking too many people in a short time. Apparently it is due to the API rate being set so low. According to one tweet it was set to if you blocked more than 200-250 accounts in a rolling 15 minute window it would kick in. It looks like it might have just been lowered even further than that.

maybe if you have to spend multiple quarter-hour-long sessions repetitively clicking a "block" button, in order to make a web site usable, there is a better solution. for example, you could stop using that web site

there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this. he uses his admin power to login to random accounts he sees to read their dms and personal data.

he just happened to be snooping around this account that just happened to be roleplaying as his horny 3 year old when the screenshot was taken, a coincidence that could happen to any webmaster.

Yeah, dude himself never tweets anything of substance, unless it's a retweet of someone else that he adds some variety of "so few understand this / interesting read!" under to try and mask what an utter loving dullard he is.

I discovered the logout issue because of an extension that automatically blocked any blue ticks in the replies to a tweet I looked at to make the site usable. It no longer seems to work, either, so the site is completely useless again.

Iirc, a twitter thread mentioned a quick tineye search on the image also suggested it wasn't public, as the source image couldn't be found, and therefore had to most likelycome from Elon's private photos. Making it far less likely to be a simple coincidence.

Elon's site lets you mute or block advertisers, even if you're a lowly non-Blue commoner, which is legit one of the few good things he's done. Pretty sure it's not a great business strategy though..

Has that been automated so you can mute and block all advertisers?
