Recently, she used her Twitter handle to alert her followers to a dangerous crypto scam. In her recent post on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote: “Be careful folks – there’s an incredibly convincing crypto scam happening on Youtube right now on an imposter channel pretending to be @SpaceX. The account is doing a ‘livestream’ of the launch, which is a highly produced and pretty convincing deepfake of Elon encouraging people to open a QR code. Currently has 70k viewers”
Boeree, who hosted a TED Talk in 2018 on the ways to improve every day decision making, also shared side-by-side comparisons of the fraudulent and real SpaceX channels, highlighting their uncanny similarities, including fake playlists mimicking genuine SpaceX content. The recent post from Boeree hints at the growing online scams and the risks associated with deepfake technology.
