Celebrities are used to being mouthpieces for various questionable products all the time. Their job is literally to sell their name and likeness. I have a far bigger problem with the so-called tech luminaries peddling this junk in various guises, from the likes of Musk, Altman, Dorsey, Thiel, A16Z, Ohanian, etc. on down. These are the people who lend a real air of legitimacy to the whole space, and I ultimately hold them responsible for the suckering of the regular folks. Musk is right about the dangers of mind-viruses. Too bad he and so many "visionaries" have already been infected by one of the worst.
- baobabKoodaa 4y agoNope, celebrities are not acting as mouthpieces in this case. Their likeness is used without permission.
- qzw 4y agoThe comment I was responding to was referring to actual paid celebrity endorsements. Matt Damon got a reported $80M for his crypto.com ad.
- baobabKoodaa 4y agoSure, but that's not related to OP at all. In OP case the scammers merely photoshopped celebrities to give fake endorsements. That's different from celebrities actually endorsing something.
