Elon Musk changed his X account name to “Harry Bōlz” on Tuesday, an act that brought him back to his brief April 2023 change to the same handle. The move comes amid reports of a Musk-led group of investors making a bid to take control of OpenAI. The 53-year-old DOGE head is also working on raiding several federal agencies to cut spending.
What Is Harry Bōlz?
While Harry Bōlz is a real German artist, Musk likely adopted the name as a playful slang for “Hairy Balls.” While the reason behind this name change remains unclear, Musk had previously explained it in 2023 via a tweet.
Tbh, I’m just hoping a media org that takes itself way too seriously writes a story about Harry Bōlz …
