Elon Musk's doppelganger from China is making waves on the Internet again. Here's why

He looks very much like Elon Musk. He even wears a similar suit and sports the same haircut as the billionaire. A man from China is becoming very popular on the Internet because of his resemblance to the Tesla chief.

'Yilong Ma' is becoming widely popular as the Tesla CEO's 'doppelganger' and Musk's 'Chinese twin brother'. It's known whether it is his assumed name on social media platforms.

In a video, which is more than two months, but is now going viral, Ma can be seen getting out of a Tesla car dressed in a black suit, and saying, "Hi everyone, I'm Elon Musk."


Social media users wondered at the uncanny resemblance and many started doubting whether it was fake. The video does not give more details, it ended with his short statement, and it appeared that was all the English he knew.


The video was originally posted by Instagram user Udubria Isaac on June 1, and has now crossed 16 million views already. The caption of the post reads, 'Chinese Elon Musk.'

The clips made enough waves to get a response from Musk himself. "Maybe I’m partly Chinese!" Musk replied to a tweet that compared the two people.

One user wrote in the comments section, "China can copy everything and make it the worst."

"This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen," said another.
