Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam
  • A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

  • Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

  • Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

  • The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges
  • The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

  • Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

  • Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

  • While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.
