May 10 news, on the foreign Twitter platform, some netizens posted a tweet and @ Tesla CEO Musk said, "Should we use the Chinese version of Musk as bait"? The netizen also suspected that the Chinese Musk was the Buddha, and the one abroad was just a South African.
Soon, Musk himself replied to the netizen and said, "I would love to meet this person (if he is real), which is difficult to distinguish with deepfakes face-swapping technology." Subsequently, "China Musk" responded on his personal Weibo, "I am here, I also want to see you, you are my hero." Unexpectedly, the two Musk actually got in touch, so will Musk come to China to meet his "brother"?
It is understood that this so-called "Chinese Musk" comes from a video on the Internet last year. The man drove a Tesla with a "Ji D" license plate and spoke fluent Mandarin with a Northeastern accent, helping others promote books. Because the man's appearance and demeanor are somewhat similar to Musk, many people sent the man's photo to the internet, and did not expect that "Chinese Musk" really exploded.
Some netizens joked that this is Musk's younger brother, called Mosaic. American netizens said that they can buy anything in China, and now even Musk's clone has it, and he should be called Ma Yilong. Some netizens denied the claim of human cloning, believing that China had created its own Musk.
Among them, there are also some netizens with more intelligent brains, who recognize this impostor at a glance and say that the genuine Musk does not have so much hair. More netizens suspected that this was achieved by using AI face-swapping technology, but the man posted a number of videos in the future, and even came out to live broadcast with goods, proving that he did not use AI face-swapping technology.
As the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and other companies, Musk is the world's richest man, and is also frequently active on network platforms such as Twitter, and his personal popularity is very high, and his every move has attracted the attention of netizens. The sudden appearance of a person who looks very similar to Musk will of course become a hot topic of discussion among netizens. Driven by this wave of heat, "China Musk" has also become a well-known Internet celebrity, and even has a lot of popularity on overseas Tiktok and Ins.
"China Musk" can be regarded as a successful rubbing of Musk's heat, which may bring no small benefits. If there is a real chance to meet musk in the future, the scene should be quite interesting and worth looking forward to.
