There was an AI crypto scam channel. Musk is so scammy that it looked feasible and was shared widely by the looks.

Taking it off YouTube and not having their main YT account at least show a “redirect” video is strange.


They don't have a YT account. Are you talking about the "@musk-spacex" channel which stylizes itself "SpaceX"?


They used to have an official YouTube channel where the launches were broadcast. Now it's on Twitter.


Removing their YouTube account was part of the strangeness. Even if you own a social media company you really need the YouTube account to squat your brand and redirect


It's not about falling for the crypto scam, but realizing that it is that before you already lost half the launch

It's like a rite of passage, I imagine most people looking for a SpaceX launch fell for it once


I watched it on Twitter. Two idiots sent me the crypto scam link separately.
