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.
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
