    With a quick google, what are the chances that erm71 is code for “Elon Reeve Musk 1971”.
    There no way that a tech savvy individual would do something as simple as use his name and DOB for usernames and email addresses… Whats his password “teslarulez1971!”?

      I’m sure that is exactly what it means. The point was to hide it a little bit, it’s not the standard first.last of everyone else but to make it still uniquely identifiable as musk. It’s not a completely unheard of practice to hide potential high spam targets. The goal isn’t to completely hide, just make it slightly harder to find
