Did Elon Musk Accidentally Reveal His Secret Twitter Account?

Elon Musk may have accidentally leaked his burner account, @ErmnMusk, which used a photo of his son as its avatar. While it's unclear if it's really his account, evidence suggests it could be. The account made mundane tweets but also posted uncomfortable comments about women and pretended to be Musk's son. The account was created soon after Musk purchased Twitter, and the image of his son was uploaded on November 29, 2022, which hasn't appeared anywhere else online before. While it's not a big deal, it's a social media mishap that echoes Musk's general online demeanor.
