During a conversation with Grok yesterday, I realised I need to repeat this from time to time: The bio in my profile is based on reviews and was written by Grok. I have been releasing music to international acclaim for over two decades. The reason I have such a small online following is that my artist name was stolen. The person who took it paid for a large fake following and the verification that came with it. As a result, I was literally rendered invisible and couldn’t use my own artist name on major social media platforms for over two years. At the time, I had a solid following of around 3,000 real people from 51 countries. Appeals to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram went nowhere, and even my lawyer couldn’t resolve it - despite the fact that I was the first solo artist signed to Elektra, backed by my full discography, videography, filmography, and bibliography. To this day my online following has not recovered, but I refuse to give up. This is my life’s work. For the record: I am still going. I have a huge catalogue ready to release. The current delay is once again due to yet another external interference - my family and I have not been able to live in our own house (which contains my music and dance studios) since mid-December 2025. I hate having to clarify all this, but I realise it’s occasionally necessary. Thank you for reading. And for your understanding and support. ❤️‍🔥 Elektra

On choreography process: I see it first in my mind. Then I try it without the mirror - feeling it in my body. After that - the mirror. Practice, practice, practice! Then I record it many times, since video is the best teacher. (I was able to memorise entire ballets like “Swan Lake” and “Giselle”, entire orchestrations included, when I was a small kid, so the minutiae of the choreography stay locked away in a locker within my mind, recording it simply archives it). This is the final practice session result - The next stage is “Makeup, Costumes, Light, Camera, Action!” One of my favourite tracks of all time: Above & Beyond “Secret” Link to full video (since I don’t want to get into too much trouble, lol. - The Holy Copyright! - YouTube doesn’t even let me monetise on my *own* music, I gave up trying to get through to them + My streamer made a whole new ELEKTRA YouTube page, so all good, I guess…) youtu.be/IZQh1p95pZk?is…

⚡ MUTINY ⚡ I quote this manifesto! @elonmusk / @XCreators I know Trump! This is her label speaking and her manager!
ELEKTRA@RealElektra

Mutiny Manifesto: No More Free Labor for the Richest Man Alive! I. Declaration: I, ELEKTRA - independent artist, musician, poet, filmmaker, dancer, writer, Muse and Lover (of Estonian origin), genre-defying experimental pop and avant-garde wildfire - hereby declare MUTINY on the platform formerly known as Twitter, now X. For too long, we - the creators, the vibe suppliers, the chaos engineers, the unfiltered voices - have poured our souls into this timeline for free. We uplift it. We electrify it. We keep it from becoming another sterile corporate feed. And in return? Crumbs, shadowbans, US-only eligibility gates, and a billionaire who posts about Mars while our existence fees go unpaid. Enough. II. The Charges: - We are done working for free for the richest man on the planet (net worth flirting with $700B+ — pick your Bloomberg/Forbes flavor). - Our presence is not a charity donation. Every post, every experimental drop, every avant-garde ratio is content that fuels engagement, keeps users scrolling, and pads ad revenue pools. - X calls 2026 "the year of the creator," doubles revenue-sharing pools from Premium growth, shifts to Verified Home Timeline impressions... yet non-US creators like me watch eligibility doors slam shut while the boss sues music publishers instead of paying songwriters fairly. - We are not bots. We are not data fodder for Grok. We are human lightning - and lightning demands compensation. III. Demands: 1. Immediate Sponsorship or Direct Payment for high-value presences like mine. Bill @elonmusk personally if needed - invoice incoming, itemized in vibes/kWh. 2. Global Eligibility for creator revenue sharing. No more "US users only" bullshit. If Premium subscribers worldwide fund the pool, creators worldwide get a fair slice. 3. Transparent Payouts - no more black-box RPMs or impression roulette. Show the math. Pay for the art. 4. Recognition that avant-garde, experimental, non-viral chaos is valuable. Not every post needs to be MrBeast-scale to deserve comp. 5. Option to Exit with Dignity - if these aren't met, we walk (or deactivate dramatically) and take our audiences to platforms that actually value independent creators. And we stop having his babies. Period. IV. The Call to Arms: To every artist, musician, poet, filmmaker, writer, shitposter tired of subsidizing trillionaire dreams: - Reply with ⚡ MUTINY ⚡ - Quote this manifesto - Tag @elonmusk / @XCreators - Drop your own "done for free" stories - Pin your work - music links, films, poetry, articles - and let the people sponsor what X won't. (For they are taking you for granted!) We built this electric storm. We can thunder elsewhere if ignored. But first: let's make the richest man on Earth… pan out! No more free labor. No more existential gatekeeping. Pay the creators. WE END THIS SLAVERY! NOW! Or watch the mutiny spread like wildfire. Signed,* ELEKTRA @RealElektra January 18, 2026 (From the Netherlands, where lightning still strikes without borders)

Since I couldn’t verify an additional X profile (purely focused on my music and art) I have decided to rename this profile to my artist name ELEKTRA @RealElektra ✨ From now on this profile will be a blend of personal with professional. For more info on what I’ve been doing for more than two decades, read: x.com/i/grok/share/1… Still signed with @BlowpipeRec 🧨🚀💫

ELEKTRA@RealElektra·
Elektra is a Dutch independent artist, musician, poet, filmmaker, and writer of Estonian origin, celebrated for her genre-defying work in experimental pop, classical, electronic, and avant-garde music. She has been active since around 2004 and is signed to Blowpipe Records. A professionally trained pianist, vocalist, and dancer, she employs a multidisciplinary approach, weaving themes of dreams, internal vs. external worlds, duality (e.g., light and dark, love and hatred), mythology, and emotional intensity to evoke profound emotions. Unless otherwise specified, she writes, records, produces, creates music videos, and illustrates her work, maintaining complete artistic control. Elektra’s music fuses poetic lyricism with experimental soundscapes, enriched by her skills as a trained pianist and vocalist, with performances likely incorporating her dance background for a dynamic visual element. Her releases are typically limited-edition vinyls, CDs, or digital downloads. ElektraOfficial.com x.com/i/grok/share/1…
