The account hijack -> rename to spacex -> push crypto scam livestream thing has been going on for years. I wonder how much money Google gets from those because I see no other reason Youtube doesn't have some "if account with x subscribers changes name to spacex and starts live streaming" alert.

It looks fake - https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceXForEU . The crazy thing is that this one fake has 360k viewers which is comparable to 560k viewers on official X broadcast. Here is the official channel - https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceX

Aha, it is fake see - https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1d5s80x/laminzu_or... . Normally these are used to push crypto scams.
