These are not real and are getting more popular recently. It's a "live" video but of an older recording of a public speaking event involving Elon and other big names, in which they briefly discuss cryptocurrency among many other topics. The name of the YT video stream is usually something like "Elon is starting a new coin, announcement live now" or "Elon Bitcoin giveaway limited time only"
They play the video picture-in-picture and outside the video frame is a QR code which takes you to a site with one of a couple clever strategies:
1) A "mint" of Elon's new token and a counter that shows the token mint is almost completed (e.g. 9973/10000)
or
2) A more basic "crypto doubling" philanthropy event including a feed like those seen on DeFi sites, showing wallets depositing ETH/whatever and immediately being sent double whatever the deposit was

People are actually falling for this :/ https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DGXhA2Zob3KYurxEaRQ5MErwvPUjZG53bo https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DGXhA2Zob3KYurxEaRQ5... https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/14ry1mGi5nKNU65oXgt9vsk8AVgbbzxssE https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/14ry1mGi5nKNU65oXgt9v... https://www.blockchain.com/eth/address/0x3A2A0510CC7Bc6dB48D8666DCa0538de114712cC https://www.blockchain.com/eth/address/0x3A2A0510CC7Bc6dB48D... https://etherscan.io/address/0x3A2A0510CC7Bc6dB48D8666DCa0538de114712cC https://etherscan.io/address/0x3A2A0510CC7Bc6dB48D8666DCa053...
