A fake video of Musk is going viral, in which he is asking people to invest in his company Neuralink, SpaceX and Grok etc. Many people have lost their money trusting this video.

In the video being shared in Musk’s name, a website has been mentioned, through which claims of investment in Musk’s companies are being made. This video is being shared on many platforms including YouTube, Facebook and Telegram. Many people have lost their money by trusting this video. A woman from Washington has lost $63,000 in this scam. Similarly, another person from America has handed over his huge earnings to cyber criminals in such a scam.
Not just one, but many such cases
Scammers of hundreds of AI-generated videos of Elon Musk and dozens of fake websites are trying to loot people’s money. In such a situation, people need to be careful. All these videos are made with AI and Musk’s voice has been cloned in them, making them look real. Therefore do not trust any such video.
