Musk’s doppelganger, who went viral in 2022 for his uncanny likeness to the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, is shown shirtless and sporting red boxing gloves in the video.
He may be seen mocking his opponent, who is wearing a box on his head with a printout of Mark Zuckerberg’s face attached to it. “X very cool very cool,” Mr Yolong stated after punching the phoney Mark Zuckerberg.
Elon Musk was amused by the video. In response to the video, the millionaire stated that he is still unsure whether the individual in the video was real or a Deep Fake created by artificial intelligence (AI).
“Still don’t know if it’s real or AI-generated,” Musk said.

The video has received over 490,000 views and nearly 3,000 likes since it was shared.
Musk’s lookalike went viral in 2020
In 2020, the Musk lookalike went viral due to his uncanny likeness to the billionaire. Several online users referred to Mr Yilong as Mr Musk’s ‘Chinese twin brother’ at the time.
This is also not the first time Mr Musk has expressed doubts about his Chinese lookalike being a real person rather than an AI deep fake. Mr Musk joked in 2021 that he might be “partly Chinese” when a Twitter user shared a photo of Yilong Ma to the platform.

Musk also stated in May 2022 that he would like to meet Yilong. “If he’s real, I’d like to meet him.” “It’s difficult to tell with deepfakes these days,” Mr Musk stated in a tweet.
Meanwhile, Yilong’s video comes at a time when Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have discussed a “cage fight.” It all started when Elon Musk tweeted that he’d be “up for a cage match” with Mark Zuckerberg, who has studied jiujitsu. The following day, the Meta CEO requested that Mr Musk “send location” for the anticipated fight.
