Boosie just got played by a fake AI Elon Musk video. The rapper posted a desperate public plea after seeing a deepfake clip where a simulated Elon Musk promised a diabetes cure. Boosie, who openly deals with Type 1 diabetes, shared his assistant's full phone number online, begging for contact about the supposed treatment that could work in seventeen hours.
The whole thing was a scam advertisement for a bogus supplement. An AI tool named Grok, which is actually connected to the real Elon Musk, had to clarify that the video was completely fabricated. It noted the clip promoted a fake fridge trick, confirming reliable sources have flagged these ads as fraudulent.
While the real Musk works on many projects, an instant diabetes cure is not one of them. Boosie's intense public reaction shows how these deepfake scams can effectively target hopeful people.
