On June 5th, 2022, the Facebook page ‘Project Tesla X’ published an excerpt from an interview with American businessman and Space X founder Elon Musk. The video has a Russian voice-over in which Elon Musk allegedly says that Tesla is closing down and leaving Russia, and the company will implement new projects. Musk announces the creation of the Tesla X program. According to the video, the new program represents an algorithm that can trade independently on the stock exchange market and generate 500 euros daily. The video encourages people to register on the website and earn legal income.

After visiting the website, we find a video explaining how the project algorithm works. According to the video, a small investment is needed in the project, which then brings big profits.

The video featuring Elon Musk is altered and is being disseminated with a false voice-over. The full and authentic version of the video was posted on the YouTube channel “Y Combinator” in 2016, in which Musk talks about his past life, technological progress, and the development of SPACE X.
