The man, dubbed on the internet as "Yi Long Musk", posted some videos emulating the Tesla CEO and went viral.

The man, dubbed on the internet as "Yi Long Musk", is from Hebei, China, and has gone viral for his resemblance to Musk, posting videos that emulate the Tesla CEO and getting two replies from the real Musk himself.

Last December, Musk jokingly responded on Twitter that he might be "partly Chinese."

On May 9, a Twitter user said, "Should we deploy Chinese @elonmusk as a decoy?" Musk then responded that he'd like to meet this guy if he's real.

But he also mentioned that it's hard to tell deep fakes these days.

Yi Long Musk has an account on TikKok, which currently includes 10 videos and has 236,300 followers.

On May 10, Yi Long Musk said on Weibo, "I'm right here and I'd love to meet you, I love you. You are my hero."

However, some Chinese Internet users questioned the historical avatar of 'Chinese Elon Musk', which is very different from his current cool Musk-like face.

This is a free bird. I like him and I'm going to go to him right now. Because Elon Musk is my brother#elonmusk #tesla #twitter
