Elon’s Crusty Gamer Sock (Premium E274)
The richest man in the world cannot catch a break from these four podcast hosts. Liv breaks down the story of Adrian Dittman, a guy on the internet who idolized Elon Musk so severely that people began to mistake them for one another. In the second half of the episode, we have to install a new layer of thermal paste on Julian’s brain after learning about Elon pretending to have played 1000’s of hours of an early access, isometric, role playing video game. The real gamers found out… and they’re mad.

I’m 😜
I wish this episode could be free. It should be a PSA that I’d send to a few cult members
I've been reading Bare Faced Messiah lately, which is a biography of L. Ron Hubbard. It might just be because the guy is on my mind but Elon reminds me so much of Hubbard since they are both pathological liars that believe in their own greatness so much that they cannot do anything but commit to the bit. Granted from what I've heard Hubbard is more charismatic
It would be amazing if those DOGE boys he has working for him now are the same guys who did “his work” on Diablo
Perfect Episode Confirmed
I could get behind Trump’s immigration policy if it were just confined to keeping awful S. Africans out of the country.
Nah, most South Africans are nice. It's just the white ones you gotta watch out for
This is a true story that is exactly how thin Elon’s skin is. Note: I have no proof of Elon’s role in this but all the facts happened. So my mom has her like 5th Tesla. She does the trade in thing or whatever. This past year my mom, a real Vietnam protesting getting arrested sit-in type liberal, just couldn’t stand how fascisty Elon was being so, in mom fashion, she wrote a strongly worded letter to the company. 1 week later, she is driving up Fairfax in LA, which is two lanes but has one lane when there is parking, and her Tesla, which is new and she charges every day, has the dash screen turn red and say only “EXIT THE VEHICLE” at which point the windows start going up and down as the car slowly starts turning its own wheel to the right and shutting off. With the driving capabilities shut down, the screen continues to say “EXIT THE VEHICLE” which she does, blocking everyone on Fairfax, at which point, having exited the car, it proceeds to lock her out of it and the car will not respond to her key.
A man who lived in an apartment near by felt so bad for her and all the honking caused by her car blocking the road that he wrote on a really big posterboard “THIS CAR HAS SHUT DOWN. WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK. PLEASE DO NOT HONK”. When the tow truck got it back to the dealer, they said they have no idea what happened and they have never heard of this happening before. We are all convinced that Elon just was so butt hurt that he took over my mom’s car to fuck with her. She picked it up from the dealer after it was “fixed” after which it proceeded to have the windows go up and down by themselves non stop. She just left it at the dealer and said she would be suing them for lemon law and went and got a different car the same day. This is obviously the story of a privileged person who Elon was only able to minorly mess with, but I completely believe that he is that petty. I hope you liked my story. I promise it’s true. He’s a little bitch or whatever the politically correct equivalent of that is.
You can also use Omeprazole to allow loperamide to cross the brain blood barrier.
The thing I took away from this episode: more buttons = more power
Hey, Liv! Non-gamer person here. Does Diablo 2 have a Hell Mode? 🤔
It’s a megabit, Jake. A megabyte is eight times as much data. 200MB/s would be 1.5Gb/s (gigabit per second).

I’m sorry boys. I got suspended from all my social media due to my nepo nazi comments for leon. I guess it is time to make some stickers and go out into the brave new world
I can’t actually tell what is more embarrassing: Dittman being an Elon alt or Dittman being a real person.
Been following Adrian Dittman from Knowledge Fight. AJ is high on that Elon oregano.
I had been convinced that Dittman was Musk. Now that I know he is a real person, I hate him just as much as Musk. We should have nuked Silicon Valley a decade ago.
Goose Gang Reunion When?
I understand, Jake

Elon is suffering from the butchers nails is not the perspective I was expecting but like... Maybe
Other rich people don't like him, so he's gotta play to neat incels like himself.
For real though, Omeprazole works. I’m not a doctor.

I can't believe ya'll posted this before Elon's Sieg Heil moment. lmao
Apple cider vinegar, every day, is the best way (and only way, in my case) to treat GERD/acid reflux long-term. It heals and rebalances your gut ph. I don’t like the taste, so prefer pill form or in a drink called a shrub.
Travis please can you explain to Jake how ponzi schemes work. There is no way to boost DOGE in a way that makes Elon followers rich, the money has to come from somewhere which is mostly mostly Elon followers, e.g someone has to be holding the bag & none of the algorithmic manipulation can change that.
Weeeeeell... he could force the US gov't to buy into it for the "strategic crypto reserve" like they're talking about doing for Bitcoin. Then we're all holding the bag together! ...but the early Doge-bros have a bag with a pig in it and the rest of us have bags with pig-shaped balloons full of nothing but hot air...
Just logging in to say all self-described "gamers" over 30 are losers by definition :)
Whew it’s a good thing I refer myself as a “game nerd” then. That was a real close one.
LIV AGAR-also maybe try Nexium-it’s OTC and helps tamp down the acid all day.
Nexium is what Jake recommended to her, but I've already done him dirty by correcting his pronunciation once ITT so instead I'm just gonna reiterate my personal recommendation that she purchase the generic due to... reasons
Out of all the people Julian says should Do the Right Thing, i hope Asmongold is the guy that actually does it. What a repulsive creature
Eh ggg doesn’t deserve any credit unless they ban his account
Diamond hands Jakey
Jake’s elonia impersonation is magnificent. Congrats Jake 🫡
Shout out to Knowledge Fight podcast and Dan for calling the Adrian Dittman shit from the jump, like a year ago. It's not Elon...irs clearly a different person.
Jake let us know what the penis melting miracle hair serum is please 🙏🏻
Found an article that names something called Regenix
I'm not the throat WOAT!
Can we call Elon’s X-posts X-cretions ?
Xactly
Also hi liv agar you are delightful heartburn can emerge from a hernia ala stress, def talk to an gastroenterologist if it continues, it’s not scary! I was scared and put it off, heartburn is scary when it’s persistent… but yeah def not scary. Totally manageable. Whatever the cause.
Probably the only person who caught this, but there was an actual group called “The Fatherland Front” in Bulgaria, but it was the Communist-led anti-fascist resistance during WW2.
As someone who has experienced psychosis - Elon reads to me as very much in a prolonged mental break of some variety, like his paranoia and increasing lack of restraint or inability to rationalize and distinguish what a troll is from an actual threat, from real harm - I’ve been there. It’s painful, I think that pain is really obvious in Elon, he’s clearly not happy. I was generally brought out of it by hitting an eventual wall (self awareness) a shock that pierced the psychosis veil and helped me recognize that reality was outside of it - thankfully I don’t have the means Elon has to evade that kind of reckoning. I dunno what that means for us as a world, it’s cringe. He’s not looking good, despite ozembic and blah blah. Even Sam Harris is anti. Mars is for sure going to reject him, I guess until then we all must suffer while he’s on earth.
I have no clue abt this modern gaming thingy, last I played was Link on that vintage nintendo back in the 90's (wasn't vintage then obv but) anyways I love this ep 🤌
oh-MEP-ra-zoll
I just heard that part and cracked up. An attempt was made!
Adrian's voice sounds like an Australian friend of mine.
Yep… bit of Kiwi in there too methinks
Elon, go fuck yourself! Is that clear enough? I think that's pretty clear
Honestly at this point I'm starting to really get sick of hearing the opinions of this drug-addled POS edgelord, from a deeply racist country, who cynically exploited the Canadian university system so that he could get his foot in the door and get to his real aim - move to California and plant roots so that he can suck at American capitalism's teet. Anyway, enough about Julian. This Elon guy sounds pretty weird eh?!
Lol
Don't hold out on us, Jake. What magic hair potion are you using?
Found an article that makes something called Regenix
LIV AGAR: The Return
What's kinda confusing me about Elon wanting to broadcast (or lie) about being this Master Gamer who spends thousands upon and thousands of hours on video games is that I thought part of his whole thing was that he works all the time? He's said he wishes he didn't have to eat or sleep so he could work 'round the clock because his work is SO IMPORTANT, not just to him, but for HUMANITY, that he wouldn't want to see a single minute wasted? But now he wants us to think he's playing video games all the time? That's not work. Why is he robbing humanity like this? He could at least be sleeping!
and if he slept it would give the rest of us a break from his dumb ass
Yeah Elon sounds weird … the voice is a bit wrong, but it’s the speech patterns… Elon speaks in a very distinctive galaxy- bro-staccato way, and Adrian doesn’t quite mimic that.
As a sweaty Path of Exile 2 gamer with 400+ hours on record after a month and a half of early access, I came here to be harassed and humiliated by Julian and I was not disappointed lmao
I was 100% with Jake and needed the breakdown of the Musk tweeting as his son; and I still don't fully comprehend.
I did burst out laughing at work a few times banger episode tbh
I fucking hate gamers
Julian whispering at the end canceled out all if the ick the rest of the episode gave me.
L I V A G A R
Julian and Jake are just wonderful together, such a sweet friendship. Lots of smile moments in this episode.

Yo Liv - I also get acid reflux, and the ONLY thing that’s helped has been buying that overpriced alkaline water with pH 9.5+. I have no idea if it’s actually doing anything, but it does banish my acid reflux. My wife calls it my “placebo water”
Universal Studios should pay Jake to do his Trump impression in the park
I love the idea that Adrian is slowly Venom Snake-ing himself into being Elon

More button = more internet
Musk will eventually step on his own dick. He's too confident. He'll fuck up one of these days. As we say in the flying community about arrogant pilots "Someday he'll run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas." Question in these cases is how much damage will he do in the meantime.
Too big to fail
There was something similar to this within the space community after the first test launch of Starship. One of the main reasons the first launch failed in the way it did was Elon decided that the launch pad didn't need any sort of flame diversion on the launch pad. If you know anything about rockets dealing with the backblast of the engines is pretty fundamental to that. Elon canceled that against the advive of his engineers citing cost/time concerns (which is kinda like not putting tires on your car and just running on rims cause it's taking too long - you can drive but you're not going anywhere for long. So when they tried to launch the first starship the back blast gouged a massive crater into the launch site and the debris took out several of its 33 engines immediately with several more failing on the way up. These engines not only lift the rocket up but are the main method for steering as well. Once too many had failed it lost attitude control and started tumbling. It was then blown up remotely. Once this came out that Elon had decided that flame diversion wasn't necessary on a rocket (let alone the largest one ever built) it caused a mini version of the first POE2 (definitely a bad look but not quite to the scale of the second POE2 fuck up. Leading one influencer to remark, "I hope Elon plays lots of Diablo 4. That's a good think for him to focus on right now." The "Instead of meddling in SpaceX" went unsaid sadly.
Imagine being the Court Gamer for Elon, paid to keep him gamerly erect, locked in a mechanical closet in his basement like Kanye trying to make a shitty new record
Careful with long-term Prilosec! NHS and NIH have some research on kidney damage, stomach cancer, and major increase in likelihood of dementia (it disrupts something with serotonin production in the stomach, which seems correlated). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10248387/ —From one decrepit 30-something with acid reflux to others.
It's difficult - acid reflux also comes with severely increased cancer risk, at least when it persists to the point of visible damage to the esophagus. I think the moral here is to get advice from a specialist if at all possible and not try to self-medicate. (I took strong prescription proton blockers for like 7 months at some point in my 20ies because the damage to my esophagus was pretty bad and the reflux just took that long to go away. Now many years without.)

Jake does a hilarious Elon. Going to second the Prilosec suggestion, that shit is magic
Does Adrian Dittman have Elon voice in the same way that Jake has Trump voice? Like he's been doing a bit so long he just talks that way now? Going up to performers in a haunted house and just making stilted 420/69 jokes at them?
AHEM. liv agar
Great episode
Knowledge Fight covered an Infowars Twitter space that Elon attended with a bunch of other world class shitheads. He talked about the need to grow the human population, and that claims of overpopulation are ridiculous. He defended that position by saying "if there are still places on earth where you can drop a bowling ball from 10,000ft without hitting someone, then the planet isn't overpopulated." Demonstrably one of the world's dumbest smart guys.
I should probably not say whom, but I went to high school with the younger sibling of one tech billionaire whose name you would recognize, and he had the exact same need to be recognized as a God Gamer while being terrible at lying. He'd do silly shit like showing us pro level Halo montages from some top tier player's youtube channel and saying that was him. I remember looking up the uploader's handle and finding enough identifying detail to know my classmate definitely wasn't that player, then asking him "hey what's your nickname in the Halo game you showed us a montage from the other day". To which he replied "well, *that time* I went by [the montage player's nickname]", clearly thinking he can avoid being caught in a contradiction by leaving the idea of switching handles open if I'd ever find out his actual Xbox handle. When just putting that nickname into google before deciding to make that lie would've made it obvious it would never hold up to the smallest bit of scrutiny. We were friends for a while in the first year, but then at one point I got him booted from my group in a group assignment. He'd neglected to turn in any of his assigned parts for three weeks and shifted back and forth between excuses, then the rest of us collectively gave him a last chance and he super duper promised to catch up on his parts that day. But then as soon as I got on my computer I saw him stay logged in and active in WoW for the entire evening and never getting back to us on the day after, so I snitched and the rest of us got to finish our assignment without giving him a free ride. After that, he never spoke to me again but would beeline over to the current daily quest area to corpsecamp me any time I happened to be on WoW at the same time as him and he wasn't busy in a raid or somesuch. Moral of the anecdote, uh, not really any I just felt like dropping some hot goss on memories that floated back to the top of my mind from hearing about Elon being about as bad at faking gaming credentials as this 16 year old was. But I suppose one takeaway is that if you've seen one person who's like this, you really have seen all of them.
The perfect shape of stupid. Brilliant.

Also, Liv, is it GERD? Or maybe it is? Pantoprazole has changed my life.
As a sweaty poe2 gamer and qaa fan this story really has everything for me. It brings me great joy
LIV! AGAR!
Both of these controversies are so stupid, it feels like you've cracked some kind of code.
Dittman did voice training to transition to Elon Musk. The world is stupid
Alex jones sold male supplements for 30 years and was the same size while saying pharmaceuticals didn't work. Then took ozempic for 1 month and lost it all lpl
If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don't retain the services of Jake Rockatansky!
Julian Feeld
Is Dittman just South African, or is he such a fanboy he trained himself to talk like Elon?
Okay, listening closely, I can hear a German accent.
Here's a very embarrassing confession: I've been a patron for 1 year and a listener for years, and this episode forced me to confront the fact that I still cannot tell Jake, Julian and Travis apart. They are an amalgamated QAA entity (complimentary!) in my mind, and if you play me a clip, I could not tell you which of them is speaking. (I do know that their voices are different and I know only one of them does all the funny impersonation voices, which are very good.)
Don’t worry it’s all just one person.
Omeprazole is the one, sucks you got to take it everyday but it’s better then the alternative.
Iv Lagar
Why are these Groypers listening to a German guy living in Fiji?
I'm going to try something: Travis View Is that anything?
Only pronouncing omeprazole the way Jake does from now on
Omee prazoh leee in my household

There was a piece in the Guardian this week about how it’s even more humiliating that the billionaires destroying the earth are so cringe. I take comfort in the mainstream waking up to these guys. We need to kill the concept of the good billionaire or the smart billionaire or the deserving billionaire.
Well there’s only one way to kill a concept.
Julian! Tap into the True Anon eps on e/acc. Liz saying, “EEE ACKKK” is so fun

Liv - you should try apple cider vinegar. You heat up a cup of water, add 1-2 tbsp of acv and honey. Drink daily. I swear it actually helps! Btw I’m not anti medicine or anything.
It has to be the good stuff like Braggs
