George Hendricks, a 69-year-old from Leesburg, a suburb of Orlando, told ClickOrlando he lost $45,000 after a scammer targeted him with a deepfake video of Musk. Deepfakes are digitally-altered videos often used to impersonate notable public figures.
Now, Hendricks tells the outlet that his wife “wants to get a divorce” over the scam.
Pfft, I would divorce my husband if he fell for a Musk grift, and it has nothing to do with gold digging. It would, however, mean that my husband kept hidden for a long time (which is impressive, I gotta say) just how big of a fucking moron he is and I won’t be married to that. And he should be avoiding anything to do with Musk like the plague anyway.
Also, it would mean that he made the decision to throw away a bunch of money without even talking to me about it (because I would veto the hell out of it), which means he’s an asshole.
Both good reasons to divorce someone imo.
But would you marry an idiot in the first place?
Seriously? Idiots do very well with women.
It’s true.
But could it be that idiot men do well with idiot women?
No, that’s why I said it would be impressive to hide it this long. :p
