Why does he need so many cars? ? Does he have a big family?

The account sent out its first tweet in November and last one earlier this week saying «I'm finally turning 3 on May 4th!» on the birthday of Mr. Musk's son.
In one exchange, the account tweeted, «Do you like Japanese girls?» from Michael Saylor, a well-known bitcoin promoter.
On other occasions, he imitates his two-year-old son.
In response to another tweet about Caroline Ellison, a former FTX executive who was romantically involved with exchange founder Sam Bankman-Freed, he tweeted «I [love] librarians» using a purple heart emoji.
Mr. Musk has not confirmed that this is his account, although he follows several users with whom he communicates regularly. .
The account frequently responded to tweets about FTX, on one occasion responding to a blatant joke tweeted from Mr. Musk's main account.
He also regularly complained that he had no followers, unlike Mr. Musk, whose 137 million followers make him the most followed person on the service.
Now on no one follows me 🙁

Account has grown to 42,700 followers since internet users identified it.
The Elon Test account also commented on the large motorcade Joe Biden brought to last year's Cop27 climate conference, saying, «Why does he need so many cars? Does he have a big family?”
He responded to another tweet about Tesla’s full self-driving car software with one word, “Wow!”
The second account came after Mr. Musk tweeted screenshot of his Twitter settings, which allow users with multiple accounts to quickly switch between them by clicking on the account profile images.
Mr. Musk may have a third account, according to reports. He acquired a Twitter handle, according to Zoe Schiffer, a reporter for the Platformer newsletter.
The account with the pseudonym «John Utah» appeared to have been suspended before Mr. Musk acquired Twitter in October last year, possibly due to multiple hacking attempts involving costly single-letter usernames.
The account follows three users—Mr. Musk, NASA, and a Los Angeles-based news website— but there are no tweets in his account.
