Benzinga - Yilong Ma is quite popular on social media, especially TikTok, for his uncanny resemblance to Elon Musk, who is a proponent of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).
What Happened: In early February, a TikTok video went viral featuring Ma — Musk’s Chinese doppelganger — having a fit of road rage and refusing cash. However, as soon as someone offered him DOGE, his anger dissipated.

In another hilarious TikTok video, Ma was seen getting his hands on Coca-Cola, not for cash but for Dogecoin.

I’d like to meet this guy (if he is real). Hard to tell with deepfakes these days."I'd like to meet this guy (if he is real). Hard to tell with deep fakes these days," Musk tweeted.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 9, 2022
