Elon Musk recently caused a stir on social media when he abruptly changed his Twitter identity to “Harry Bolz,” leaving his 134 million followers perplexed and wondering what the strange name change meant.

Some Twitter users believed Musk was teasing his upcoming significant project or commercial initiative, while others thought it was just a harmless joke to amuse his followers.

Many others even suggested that “Harry Bolz” might be Musk’s alter ego, a persona he was playing for laughs.

It’s interesting that this name change occurred soon after Musk stated that imitation on the platform was forbidden.

Then changed it to Mr. Bolz before reverting back to his original name, and said that having an organisational affiliation on Twitter allowed him to do so without losing his verification and that it also helped to reduce impersonation fraud.

This is not the first time that Musk has made unconventional changes to his Twitter profile…

He has changed Twitter’s ‘w’ to read ‘Titter’ in the past, and he recently published a photo of the company’s San Francisco headquarters in which the ‘w’ looked to be painted white.

Musk claimed that his landlord at the SF headquarters had told him that they had to preserve the Twitter sign and could not remove the ‘w’, so they had painted it in the background colour to fix the issue.

According to reports, Musk has reportedly been fascinated on this issue for some time. In April of the previous year, he set up a poll on his website asking his fans if he should remove the letter “w” from Twitter’s emblem outside of their San Francisco headquarters.

Due to his erratic and attention-seeking behavior, Musk was compared to David Brent, a fictional character from the hit TV series The Office.

The software tycoon, who is known for being unpredictable and unafraid to push boundaries, has developed a reputation for his unorthodox social media antics that have almost become his signature.

He frequently makes announcements, expresses his ideas, and engages in lighthearted banter with both supporters and detractors on Twitter.

Opinions on the name change were mixed, as they often are with matters involving Elon Musk. While some people found it amusing and interesting, others thought it was confusing or even childish.

With more than 134 million Twitter followers, Musk’s every online action is intensely scrutinised by his supporters, detractors, and the media.

Speaking out about his latest move, one social media user wrote that “Its to send a message that this country is owned by man babies and there is nothing we can do about it.”

While another said: “It’s his new drag name.”

“Hairy Balls lol. I like his humour,” a third commented.

Musk’s unpredictable and outlandish online behaviour has come to be recognised as a hallmark of his distinct personality, and his most recent name change is simply the most recent illustration of this. Musk is known for his fun and prankish approach to online communication.
