I've saved at least one elderly person from giving "Elon Musk" $100k for the secret bitcoin mining operation he's building, as Elon explained to them in the deepfake. "Elon" apparently has secret telegram accounts too.

The scammers worked with additional people who met them in the real world.

Someone else's elderly father wasn't so lucky: they kept sending all their life savings to the scammers, until the wife divorced him and the family suffered so much.
