On Tuesday, the sustainable energy billionaire posted a tweet with link to a Bloomberg story calling out fake news stories about him. (He also made a timely South Park reference.)

Can anyone uncover who is really writing these fake pieces? Can't be skankhunt42. His work is better than this. https://t.co/Qs69AFMGE5

Some of these stories include "Elon Musk Continues to Blow Up Taxpayer Money With Falcon 9" on The Federalistnews site, another on Libertarian Republic and "Elon Musk: Faux Free Marketeer and National Disgrace" from the Liberty Conservative.

Bloomberg reported all the stories on the conservative news sites are made up and written by a non-existent writer, Shepard Stewart. Gavin Wax, editor-in-chief of Liberty Conservative, told Bloomberg Stewart is "definitely a fake."

All the stories have since been taken down. Jalopnik.com managed to grab a screenshot of The Federaliststory, an opinion piece by Stewart on the site's technology section, before it was taken down Tuesday.

The fabricated Stewart, who has a minimal online presence (the first clue he's not a real online journalist), has a headshot from the TheFederalistthat is eerily similar to a Bay Area startup CEO's Twitter and LinkedIn photo.

Through a reverse image search, Mashable found what looks like a Photoshopped version of Guy Yalif's photo being used as Stewart's image. In a message to Mashable Tuesday night, Yalif said his photo has "unfortunately" been used by other people a "couple of times before."

As Bloombergnoted, disrupting the auto and energy industries has made Musk quite a few enemies. It seems as if one of them has managed to annoy one of the most powerful people in the tech world.
