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.
I dunno. My mom is his age and taught us how to build crystal radios when we were kids for fun. She still does it every few years with the grandkids as they grow up. She’s still sharp as a whisk.
Whisks are not sharp. Do you mean whip? Or am I missing the joke?
Whips are not sharp
True but it’s an idiom, so I’d be more confident of the meaning. I thought they might be making a pun.
it’s “smart as a whip” and “sharp as a tack”
Yes, I know, but it sounds like “whisk” so I thought it was supposed to be a joke. Didn’t think I’d spend this long on this topic. Take care :)
You know what else isn’t sharp? Lisps.
