In a shocking turn of events, the YouTube channel of Australia's Seven Network was hijacked, displaying videos of a deep fake Elon Musk promoting a crypto scam. The channel was rebranded to resemble Tesla, with an AI-generated Musk claiming to give away cryptocurrency. At the time, about 150,000 viewers were watching three live streams featuring the fake Musk. The scam promised to double any crypto sent to a specific address. Despite the hijack, the channel still displayed the news organization's verification tick. The extent of the viewership that might be bots is currently unknown.
