I wouldn’t invest 690000$ on any single opportunity, even if Jesus himself came to endorse it and promise lifetime supply of red wine.

The scams are designed as alzheimers screening tools. Teaching will help some people, but not that many.

Could it be that the one who tweets is also this scammer?

Most of the ones I see are just spam emails for some amazing new heater/air conditioner/phone charger with Musks name and face on them, they don’t even bother with a deep fake.

Imagine seeing his face on a product and thinking, “Wow this looks trustworthy and reliable.” 🫤

Since when is Deepfake Musk a bigger scammer than real Musk? The man’s been selling “full self-driving” upgrades to Teslas for years, and they’re no closer to “full self-driving” now than they were at the start. Surely real Musk has scammed for more people.

Don’t forget the tube trains that the world has know to be a scam for over a century. But at least he was correct when he said Starship would be sending people to Mars in 2022 and 2024, that the cybertruck would work as a boat, that model 3s would appreciate rather than depreciate, that solar roof tiles would replace normal solar panels by 2020, that the tunnels under Vegas would use high speed sleds, that Falcon 9 couple be reconditioned for flight faster than the space shuttle, that a $30k Tesla roaster was released in 2017, and Twitter hasn’t become an (even more) hate filled echo chamber.
