Elon Musk admitted to using two secret alternate accounts on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in a deposition for a lawsuit against the billionaire. He said that he used some accounts on the social media site outside of his main public account when he was asked to clarify if he used an account on X that had been linked to him by several users on social media. Some users posted a screenshot of his X interface last year in which the additional account appeared to be visible.

Okay, now I feel bad for him? I feel like maybe people are making fun of someone who is emotionally stunted (maybe because of trauma?) and so has a need for attention. I get that people want to criticize him (rightfully so) for his callous attitude towards vulnerable people. I feel like he hasn’t heard of the term, or doesn’t care for it if he has, “nobless oblige”. In fact, many people in positions of power, authority or influence should reflect on it. Sadly, often people who reach such positions are incapable of such reflection. It’s a beast that feeds itself.
