Scammers Use Fake SpaceX Channels to Promote Crypto Scams During 2024 Eclipse Livestreams

Fake SpaceX YouTube channels are livestreaming fake AI-generated videos of Elon Musk promoting a crypto scam during the 2024 solar eclipse.

The fake streams feature QR codes taking users to crypto investment websites to steal their cryptocurrency.

Some fake streams have over 200,000 live viewers and the channels have hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

Scammers change channel names to "SpaceX" to appear official before going live with the scam.

Millions have viewed the fake eclipse streams, unclear how many have fallen victim to the crypto theft scam.
