These have been going on for a while. I have been noticing these for at least a year, and I have seen a similar format with Bill Gates and Musk. I guess it's a whack-a-mole problem, and MicroStrategy has been attempting to report them as they can.

YouTube should do better. I try and report the ones I come across.

Not just on Youtube, I have been seeing a lot of ads on Facebook lately promoting scams like these, with the face of Elon Musk and with a Facebook page made to look like it's Tesla or SpaceX.

I report them everytime as a scam, and they just keep popping up like mushrooms after the rain.

What really makes me angry is that all these platforms are letting this happen, without any human intervention, and these can go on for days and days before they are shut down.
