Deepfake of #ElonMusk. “Giving Away” Bitcoins on #YouTube
A graphic designer for #Dogecoin , known as DogeDesigner, discovered a live stream on YouTube featuring a #deepfake of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk promoting a cryptocurrency scam.
👀 In the edited video titled "Tesla Unveils Masterpiece: Tesla That Will Change the Auto Industry Forever," the topic takes a sudden turn about two-thirds of the way through.
The fake Musk offers users to scan a QR code on the screen, which leads them to a giveaway website. He encourages them to do this during the so-called "live stream." 🧐
"On the website, you can deposit any amount of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin without any registration. Once you do, you will receive double the amount of the deposited cryptocurrency,"
- says the fake entrepreneur. 😁
Interestingly, the scam channel even has nearly 15,000 subscribers.🤔
