Very impressive.

I have to say while I'm deeply impressed by these text to image models, there's a part of me that's also wary of their impact. Just look at the comments beneath the average Facebook post.

This presumes that you're okay with giving the real Elon your wallet but not a fake Elon, but why?

Because it isn't worth real Elon's time to run these scams.

It was very convincing. We thought it was a YouTube stream of the Starship launch. It paused with 40 seconds remaining, and "Musk" came on offering to reward those who support innovation and technology (BTC, in this case).

My problem with your statement isn't if its believable Elon came on stage or not, my problem is why would you trust Elon to pay you your money back, whether its the authentic or imposter Musk.

Kind of missing their point there. Giving Elon Musk $15k in crypto based on some vague too-good-to-be-true "trust me bro" pitch is embarrassing even if the video turned out to be real.
