Who controls Elon Musk’s Twitter? Tesla CEO says one of his ‘multiple personalities’ tweets on his behalf
Billionaire Elon Musk wasn’t thrilled when the US President Joe Biden forgot to mention his company name, Tesla, in his thank-you note to the automobile sector that was posted on the president’s Twitter timeline on Wednesday.
The US President showered praise on General Motors and Ford for creating jobs and investing in the economy and tweeted, “Ford is investing $11B to build electric vehicles—creating 11,000 jobs across the country. GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7B to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.
Ford is investing $11B to build electric vehicles—creating 11,000 jobs across the country.
GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7B to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.

Musk, however, didn’t like the president playing favourites, and he took it upon himself to set the record straight. In a reply to Biden’s tweet, the 50-year-old reminded the US president that Tesla’s investment is more than double the sum that Ford and GM have invested together, and the company has created over 50,000 jobs in the US economy.
The Tesla CEO ended the tweet with a solid shade in the sidebar. The Billionaire wrote in brackets that this information is for the person running Biden’s social account.

Musk’s response amused many Twitter users, as Biden’s tweet received a measly sum of 38.1k likes and was only retweeted about 3,000 times, while Musk’s terse reply won the popularity votes, and clinched 243.7k likes and was retweeted more than 33k times.
One of the Twitter user, whose interest was especially piqued by Musk’s shade at the ‘person who handles Biden’s Twitter account’ asked the Tesla CEO who is responsible for his tweets and the 50-year-old billionaire retorted, “Well, I do have multiple personality disorder, but they’re all technically in the same head.”
Whether the billionaire was referring to the ‘multiple personalities’ in a humorous way, or was actually talking about the mental health disorder is hard to understand from the cryptic tweet.
