George Hendricks, a 69-year-old from Leesburg, a suburb of Orlando, told ClickOrlando he lost $45,000 after a scammer targeted him with a deepfake video of Musk. Deepfakes are digitally-altered videos often used to impersonate notable public figures.
Now, Hendricks tells the outlet that his wife “wants to get a divorce” over the scam.
Does the wife want to divorce him because of the money he lost or the fact that he chose a “Musk” product?
Yes
Deepfake Musk asked her to have his kids.
Imagine the arrogance of believing that one of the world’s richest and most self-centered people has taken time out of their day …
Honey, listen. If you’d just watch the ad, he said his brain was in the Cloud. He’s omnipresent now. He can talk to any of us.
Look! Look! I still have the link. Damn, why won’t this link work? If you could just see the link, honey. He was talking to me. He said, I’d won and that I was incredibly smart. He said we’ve been chosen! We don’t have to live in this shitty apartment anymore. He’s going to take us away with him to Mars!
HONEY! Come back! I love you and I want to live in the computer on Mars together!
…
Fuck. Well, fine. I guess I’ll just go find an AI girlfriend.
AI Girlfriend could do better.
Because Elmo is famous for his donations and philanthropy…
He donates money to himself.
Half of his grifts is the bait-and-switch.
Elon’s good for 10% of what he promised inside the first hour he promised it. After that, all bets are off.
This poor woman has been living her entire god damned life with this clown. Poor, poor woman.
Just imagine thinking Elon musk has the time of day to ask you for $7500. Mother fucker makes more than that every minute of his life
Absolute clown shoes, I’m not gonna say he deserved it. But christ on a stick, you’re making me define where the line of “deserving” is.
He makes about that per second, and about $400,000/minute.

That is absolutely sick. And just in case tone isn’t coming across in text, I’m saying that in a negative way.
Haha I purposely used minutes instead of seconds cause I knew I’d get blasted on the Internet if I was wrong with my figures. Minutes was safer
He could’ve bought an actual EV for that
I’m (not) sorry but if you are capable of falling for this scam you are living in an actual fucking dream world and are a danger to the community
In a just world those scammers wouldn’t exist but this guy also wouldn’t recklessly revel in obvious delusions of grandeur
I like to think she’s not leaving him because he lost the money. I like to think she’s leaving him because he’s dumb enough to be the type of person to lose the money.
Like, $45,000? Yeah, it’s a huge hit to your bank account. But money comes and goes. At the end of the day, you’re still with the guy who never stopped to think.
I’ve been on a Kitboga binge and the only thing that makes scam AIs better than flesh and blood scammers is that they won’t talk over you.
However, I don’t think I could get an AI to scream “DO NOT REDEEM!”
And I thought my wife was gullible for nearly falling for a cadburys hamper giveaway scam. But this several orders of gullible worse.
Good for her.
And she s right, i d also unbirth the kids if possiblr
Just shove em back in there 👌
Roll tide
Who here actually blames her lol
that $45,000 can be used for something useful, like yk covering the tuition fee of a university for a year or to make me travel places.
But now she can’t afford it!
Should have divorced him sooner.
