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.
Does the wife want to divorce him because of the money he lost or the fact that he chose a “Musk” product?
Maybe it’s because he’s an idiot.
Yeah guaranteed this isn’t the first incredibly stupid thing he’s done - probably while ignoring the advise of everyone else - but it may be the latest or most expensive.
The guy is also at an age where cognitive decline can start to set in. A lot of the early symptoms include becoming angrier and having worse impulse control.
You dance with the Golden Retriever Boyfriend who brung ya.
Deepfake Musk asked her to have his kids.
Yes
