Elon Musk who admits to having taken drugs in front of the camera and who explains that he is ready to imagine “new space cars” and to conquer Mars?
The video, shared on social networks in recent weeks, is in fact a hoax, relays TF1 Info on Monday.
Extremely realistic, the sequence quickly went viral.
On Altcoin Daily's Twitter account alone, it has amassed 10.5 million views to date.

In the video, the fake Elon Musk thus indicates having swallowed 150 milligrams of drugs and finding himself "completely torn" but "on top".
Taken up on the Internet, these images surprised many users, but many really believed that it was the famous entrepreneur.
A regular at hoaxes
It is actually a deepfake made by Platte on TikTok, explains Reuters.
This user is a regular at these parody videos, especially concerning Elon Musk.
The one focused on drug use has 7.5 million views on its author's TikTok account.
Several clues still show that the video is a fake.
Platte's username (@plattepus) can be seen watermarked and the multi-billionaire's voice is also out of sync with the image at times.
