Social media flooded with AI-generated content featuring Elon Musk and fictional projects

Social media platforms Facebook and Instagram are flooded with AI-generated content featuring Elon Musk in fantastical scenarios, such as affordable housing projects and flying cars. These posts often mix reality with fiction, portraying Musk as a philanthropic hero. Many users engage with these posts, believing in Musk's supposed initiatives to solve major issues like homelessness. However, these claims are largely fabricated, created by spam networks aiming for high engagement and profit. Despite the spread of this misleading content, Meta, Facebook's parent company, has not taken significant action to address it. Critics argue that the company benefits from the engagement generated by these posts, which complicates the public's ability to distinguish fact from fiction.
