Pakistani social media users have found a man who looks eerily similar to Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. A video showing this doppelganger at a local restaurant in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province has gone viral on the internet.
The video, captured on Instagram before it was later uploaded on X (formerly known as Twitter), features the man sharing a meal with his friends. In the video, his friend refers to him as “Elon Musk” in Pashto. The viral update read: “Look at this doppelganger of @elonmusk in KPK, Pakistan. Elon Musk Khan Yousafzai.”

A post on Instagram of the vehicle read, “Elon Musk wants to know his location!” The futuristic and sleek design looks almost identical to the actual Cybertruck, but when the car rounds a bend, its local construction is revealed.
