On a Chinese platform known as Douyin , which is an alternate version of Tik Tok, a video of Elon Musk's "clone" was posted. Netizens were shocked by the resemblance between the two and the video quickly went viral. In the video, Yi Long imitates the businessman, pretending to be in an interview.
In the short video originally posted on TikTok, the doppelganger, who is the self-proclaimed "Chinese Elon Musk," stands next to a car, mimicking the $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ CEO.
On Facebook, the video has racked up 878 reactions and 1,801 shares, sparking a debate about its authenticity in the comments.
While some people posted GIF reactions in awe of the celeb twin, dubbed "Yi Long Musk," others weren't so convinced it was real.
The real Elon Musk responded to a viral picture of his reported doppelganger by tweeting, "Maybe I'm partly Chinese."

The California State Teachers' Retirement System, the second-largest public pension by assets in the U.S., bought more shares of movie-theater chain $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ and analytics-software firm $Snowflake (SNOW.US)$, acquired shares of the $Tilray Brands (TLRY.US)$, and reduced its holdings in $Berkshire Hathaway-B (BRK.B.US)$, Buffett's investment juggernaut. Calstrs, as the pension is known, disclosed the stock trades, among others, in a form it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Calstrs said it doesn't comment on its holdings or on individual investment managers. The pension managed $321.9 billion in assets as of Oct. 31.
AMC stock caught fire during the meme-stock frenzy early in the year, when small investors communicating via social media bought shares of beaten-down companies in hopes of triggering gains that would force people who had bet against those stocks to buy in order to close their bets. The trend led to a surge in volatility that prompted the Federal Reserve to warn this month that meme-stock related market swings could be a risk to the financial system. AMC's third-quarter results were better than expected, and the chain is now accepting cryptocurrencies for online payments.
Yesterday, AMC shares fell 15% to their lowest close since May. The Omicron variant of coronavirus has revived fears that new lockdowns could keep movie-goers away from theaters.
Mooers, what do you think of the giant pension's investment in these most-volatile stocks?
