I mean if we are deepfaking things for Elon to do, why pick something so on brand? I guess it lends legitimacy to the scam, because if anyone were to be shilling a crypto scam, it’s that old musky ballsack.
And people who think he is a genius are more likely to believe it, unfortunately.
If they wind up believing they got scammed by Elon Musk, something good may come of this in the end.
Yes, adding legitimacy is the point. The scammers want to scam people.
Web3 evangelists are VERY obsessed with Elon, all they need is a couple of them to not do the due diligence and they'll make bank.
