You have got to see this. This could have fooled just about anyone, and it did.

Over 8,000 people tuned into a deepfake livestream of Elon Musk, and many believed it was real. However, it was a deepfake almost perfectly carried out with the mannerisms, voice, and gestures everyone expects from Elon.

Perhaps the only clue that many picked up is that the photo or video used in this face-swapping deepfake was an old photo of Elon, making him appear much younger than he is today.

This was likely created with Deep-Live-Cam, a deepfake software released last month.
