Elon Musk said he wants to meet his Chinese doppelgänger, who has become a massive internet viral sensation for remarkably sporting the same looks like the tech billionaire, with a few videos online introducing himself as Yilong Ma.
The tech entrepreneur, Musk, is actively blurting out his unconventional takes on various stuff, along with consistent Tesla and SpaceX updates, on his official Twitter account.
Aside from his roles in his giant firms, SpaceX and Tesla, he still finds time to post daily updates on his Twitter account.
Elon Musk's Chinese Doppelgänger: Yilong Ma
However, the seemingly Chinese twin brother of Musk also graced the online world, which initially became a massive viral sensation on the Chinese social network TikTok, which is known as Douyin in the Asian country.
The doppelgänger of the African-Americant billionaire in the viral clip was standing next to a black sedan.
The man that looks like the CEO and founder of the EV giant, Tesla, is reportedly from the northeastern province of China, Hebei, as per the news story by Business Insider.
Musk, who actively interacts with other Twitter users, has previously reacted to a photo of his viral look-alike, jokingly saying that "maybe I'm partly Chinese!"
It sure is interesting to find a person that looks closely like you on the other side of the world - unless maybe your face is common in that location.
China's Elon Musk
Yilong Ma has been riding on his fame under his TikTok account, which goes by the parody username "Elong Musk." The Chinese look-alike of the richest man in the world now has 230,000 followers on the video sharing platform.
Most folks would agree that "China's Elon Musk" looks like a lost twin of the Tesla founder. However, when he starts speaking, you could identify him as a copycat of the billionaire entrepreneur.
Elong Musk posted a recent video wherein he tried speaking in English. He quipped in his caption that he does not know what he was talking about in the videos, asking for the forgiveness of his viewers.

Elon Musk Wants to Meet Yilong Ma
According to a recent report by South China Morning Post, the real deal, Musk, himself tweeted that he would "like to meet this guy."
However, the billionaire further said that only if he is real, adding that it is "hard to tell with deepfakes these days."
I’d like to meet this guy (if he is real). Hard to tell with deepfakes these days.

His Chinese doppelgänger responded to Musk on Weibo. He wrote that "I also want to meet you. I love you. You are my hero." The meetup should prove that Ma is not some online deepfake.
