AI Elon Musk crypto scam
graybeard:
I searched youtube for a link to the spacex launch and came across this channel SpaceX[Live] https://www.youtube.com/@spacex-official-corp
I started watching it and it appeared to be the official spacex channel with the launch. 3-minutes after the launch it said standby for an important message from Elon Musk. Then the AI generated Musk came on pushing a crypto scam.
Jackster:
Can't be too sure these days. Might be a scam. Might actually be Elon Musk.

Its been a thing for a while now. Videos that mentions his name seem to have a ton of crypto scam comments in them as well.
The real channel is just "https://www.youtube.com/spacex"

SiliconWizard:
Yes crypto scams with fake Musk channels have been going on for a long time. Actually, they had mostly disappeared but they seem to be coming back.
Nobody's ever going to double your crypto just because they're nice.
Psi:
Yep, any time you see a
- QR code, and/or,
- Musk, and/or,
- People talking about crypto, and/or,
- 2 for 1 crypto schemes
It's a scam.
Additional signs the above is a scam
- It's a livestream (they usually are live)
- It has comments/chat disabled
- The Youtube channel only hosts that 1 live video you are watching, or it has other videos that seem to be random and not at all related to crypto/musk/space. (They are usually hijacked YouTube channels that have been renamed to something space or crpto related).
Just right click and report as bitcoin/crypto scam.
