Chinese youth "Yi Long Musk" has often made headlines due to his striking resemblance to the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. On May 9, the billionaire generated an online buzz again by asking to meet his Chinese doppelganger, "if he is real." Although the man shares videos on Douyin, China's equivalent of TikTok, some think that he is using deepfake software. But Yi Long's response post from May 10 indicates he does want to meet, ending with the words "you are my hero!"
