Elon Musk – the founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX – a master of cryptocurrency and also the Man of the Year on Time magazine, is perhaps a figure that is no longer unfamiliar to the online community over the past few years. Not only has he shocked many with his often deemed “arrogant” statements, but Elon Musk has also puzzled countless people with his extremely cryptic Twitter posts that have led to unusual fluctuations in several cryptocurrencies. Frequently bringing interesting surprises to the online community, recently, Elon Musk himself was taken by surprise after witnessing a doppelgänger of himself.
Recently, the online community was abuzz after a video surfaced for the first time on the Douyin platform (China). Set in a seemingly unremarkable parking lot, everything changed when the main character stepped out, as everyone was astonished to see that he closely resembled Elon Musk while still having Asian features. From the smile, gestures to the Tesla electric car beside him, many people might mistake him for the famous billionaire.
Just a few seconds long, but the video was immediately shared at lightning speed. Although some people questioned its authenticity, suggesting that the clip might have used Deepfake technology, it is undeniable that it generated a significant buzz. In fact, many referred to the main character as Yi Long Musk and remarked that he is the perfect “made in China” replica of the billionaire.
While everything is still under debate, the real “Elon Musk” has recently responded to this image. “Maybe a part of me is Chinese” – Elon Musk succinctly replied after receiving the photo. His comment immediately attracted thousands of reactions, and many believe this is a clever move by the billionaire as China is a highly promising market for Tesla.
