Thanks to the book I'm reading now, I've discovered the true identity of Elon Musk. He's an AI bot that, like Tay, was trained on Twitter. Tay was shut down by Microsoft when it became clear that it developed psychopathic, dictatorial tendencies. By contrast, Elon bought Twitter, so that nobody could shut him down:

“stories of Tay,2 the Twitter bot that Microsoft created and swiftly shut down after it turned into a Hitler-loving, non-consensual-sex-promoting bot. Tay was modelled to speak ‘like a teen girl’. The bot began to post inflammatory and offensive tweets through its Twitter account, forcing Microsoft to shut down the service only sixteen hours after its launch. According to Microsoft, this was caused by trolls – people who deliberately start quarrels or upset others on the internet – who ‘attacked’ the service as the bot was making its replies based on its interactions with people on Twitter.”
