  I mean if we are deepfaking things for Elon to do, why pick something so on brand? I guess it lends legitimacy to the scam, because if anyone were to be shilling a crypto scam, it’s that old musky ballsack.

    And people who think he is a genius are more likely to believe it, unfortunately.

    Yes, adding legitimacy is the point. The scammers want to scam people.

    When trying to scam people, why pick something that they will believe?

    I think you answered your own question

    Web3 evangelists are VERY obsessed with Elon, all they need is a couple of them to not do the due diligence and they’ll make bank.

  TBH fake Elon is far less of the problem than the real dude.

  This again?

  You’d think they’d have scammed all the idiots by now, but I guess there’s an endless line of them

  I’m Canadian and all the YouTube ads lately have been fake Trudeau and Freeland shilling crypto. Every few weeks there’s a story in the media about some idiot getting scammed by them. Sad state of affairs.

  Wouldn’t be surprised if he’d actually do something like that in the near future.

  I wonder if this will fall under Musk’s view of freedom of speech?

  No that is just what he does between X rants and being an insufferable idiot.
