Since when is Deepfake Musk a bigger scammer than real Musk? The man's been selling "full self-driving" upgrades to Teslas for years, and they're no closer to "full self-driving" now than they were at the start. Surely real Musk has scammed far more people.
Don't forget the tube trains that the world has known to be a scam for over a century. But at least he was correct when he said Starship would be sending people to Mars in 2022 and 2024, that the cybertruck would work as a boat, that model 3s would appreciate rather than depreciate, that solar roof tiles would replace normal solar panels by 2020, that the tunnels under Vegas would use high speed sleds, that Falcon 9 can be reconditioned for flight faster than the space shuttle, that a $30k Tesla roaster was released in 2017, and Twitter hasn't become an (even more) hate filled echo chamber.
The list goes on...

Probably why this scam works so well. It's like how the bad spelling etc in phishing helps to weed out the less susceptible people so they don't waste their time.
If you're already falling for the Musk bullshit, then you're a prime target.
