Facebook deep fake nonsense aside, if I genuinely thought Elon was involved in an investment scheme, I would immediately consider it a scam and assume my money would disappear.
Shitty reputation aside, the guy has never been a developer has he?
He was a developer on whatever company he had that got folded into PayPal. It would be accurate to say that he never was a good developer.
Huh, I always assumed he was just an exec
That said, I did make about an 800% return by investing (a small amount) in Dogecoin immediately after he tweeted that it was his favorite cryptocurrency that one time. Figured his fan club would pump it, and boy did they. I got it at about $0.05 and sold out at $0.40, believe it peaked at $0.58 or so. Wish I’d wagered more than the $250 I did on it.
Company: Announces Elon Musk is the lead developer
Stock: 📉
Those weren’t fake, those were real (there are actual VERIFIED people on Twitter that can back me up on this) Unfortunately, you can’t ask elon himself, because he was working with that team on their crypto right before he died.
If you didn’t hear about his death, it wasn’t widely reported really because he was so insignificant that nobody really cared. But I guess they found that he broke his neck trying to suck his own dick on a ferris wheel. He was wearing small shorts, exerted himself trying to fold in half to reach, shit his pants, the shit hit the floor of the bucket, he slipped in the shit, hit the cage awkwardly and broke his neck.
Might be hacked accounts. The same happens on facebook. Some friend had their account stolen, and could not get it back. Half a year later the name and profile picture changes to “Elon Musk”. Reported it to facebook for Scam and “Impersonating public figure”. They have a report category for this exact case, so surely they know that this is a problem and they will take care of it, right? Nope, according to Facebook everything is A-Ok with the account, and no action is taken.
RIP
Hello everyone , I’m Yilong Musque! Tesla good!
They should’ve picked a better person to lie about, especially if it’s supposed to be a developer.
Yeah! Pick somebody who actually knows tech, like esteemed Academy Award nominated lead developer Margot Robbie, for example.
(Wait, actually, no, getting involved in crypto is generally a bad idea…)
Ah, I missed you.
Still on that acting break, but in the meantime, you can buy a copy of “Barbie” on Blu-ray to tide you over.
No way. You want someone who’s so obviously an idiot that his face alone selects out anyone with critical reasoning faculties.
Being a deepfake used to find rubes willing to give over money to an obvious scam is the platonic ideal of elon musk. Bravo, grifters. Bravo.
Exactly, just like the Nigerian prince scam. Those who know about the scam or with enough critical thinking ability are not the marks. They want that small percentage of highly gullible people they can fleece easily.
Elon, like his favored doge and bitcoin ,has run his course. He started off making sense, looking like he was going to change the world. But now He’s not energy efficient, he’s horrible for the environment, takes forever to get things done and never fully delivers what was promised. It’s time we stop worshiping Elon.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the Pedo Guy.
According to Elon, this is completely fine and legal.
using deep fakes of billionaires is free speech
Hahahahaha lol, I wish it had gone unnoticed a bit more. Scamming techbros and cryptobros sounds cool.
Continuing the trend elon continues to look worser physically everytime an article is posted about him
I’ve disabled personalised ads on YouTube and I see this sort of shit all the time. I’ve given up reporting them because 90% of the time the report is rejected. I don’t even understand the rationale for rejecting it because it’s an obvious a scam as a scam can be - ai impersonation, fake endorsement, illegal advertising category. It’s a scam YouTube.
I don’t even get why these ads even appear. YouTube has transcription & voice / music recognition capabilities. How hard would it be to flag a suspicious ad and require a human to review it? Or search for duplicates under other burner accounts and zap them at the same time? Or having some kind of randomized audit based on trust where new accounts get reviewed more frequently by experienced reviewers.
No no. This kind of automated “protection” is only used against their users, who are their product. Not the advertisers, who are their customer!
they ain’t gonna stop their customers from paying them more money
Were they purposely trying to tank the product? 🤔
Crypto bros have a hard on for Elon, the scam is targeting them specifically.
This isn’t news, it’s been ongoing for quite some time.
It’s news that someone is actually policing advertisements… I’ve seen dozens of deep fake ads and nothing ever seems to get cracked down on.
They really needed to get a statement from Twitter on this. I assume they asked. How are we supposed to know whether or not there was a poop emoji?
The Ancap free market working as intended.
