The video of him fooling someone into thinking Elon Musk had joined their Zoom call was quite funny. Unfortunately the voice was all wrong (sounded Russian) but the person was still fooled and surprised.

This "audio deepfake" analog suggests totally realistic imitation:

Most people have probably not heard much of Elon Musk's voice.

Maybe the voice will be resolved in a future PR ;)

ahaha that's a nice demo! One of the devs was on that call so I guess it was just acting :)
