Musk Responds To A Chinese Look-Alike Punching Zuckerberg
Elon Musk has reacted to a Chinese look-alike of him, who posted a video of himself, punching a picture of Mark Zuckerberg.
The post arrives following the ever-increasing news that Musk could face the Facebook founder in a cage fight.
And that anticipation resulted in a Chinese man by the name of Yilong Ma posting the following video.
In the video, the man can be seen wearing a pair of boxing gloves as he punches a picture of Zuckerberg that was fixed on a cardboard box hanging over someone’s head.

Prior to that, an X was drawn on Ma’s stomach as the punch came in. Thereafter, Ma shadowboxed and was heard saying the following: “X very cool very cool.”
In response, Musk questioned whether the video was in fact a deep fake using AI, or a genuine look-alike.
Still don’t know if real or AI-generated 😂

However, the encounter with MA is nothing new. In 2021, Musk made a light-hearted comment about being ‘partly Chinese’ after a photo of Ma was posted.
Maybe I’m partly Chinese!

Thereafter, Musk even suggested he was willing to meet Ma.
I’d like to meet this guy (if he is real). Hard to tell with deepfakes these days.
