A group of people have already been deceived by a new investment platform that is just realistic enough to look really weird.
A netizen posted a short clip online yesterday and tagged Musk, warning that the scam had already gone viral. Musk's mouth movements are faked in the edited video of a real interview. His eyes roll around as he mimics Musk's voice and body language.
It'sYikes. Musk confirmed that he had not founded the fake trading platform called BitVex.

The scam campaign has targeted more than just Musk fans, edited videos to make it seem as if famous financial experts started or supported the fake trading service.
The videos are still working. It is possible that even more has been taken after BC found evidence of around $2,000 in deposits to the ersatz platform.
The news that the most famous NFT artist got hacked and his followers got ripped off comes on the heels of a report yesterday that the most famous NFT artist got hacked and his followers got ripped off. On top of that, there is a declining and unstable market.
There is more on Elon Musk.
