Thank you my friend LTC (Join to see) for posting the perspective from businessinsider.com author Cheryl Teh "Elon Musk's viral Chinese doppelgänger, Yilong Ma, has been suspended from China's versions of TikTok and Twitter."
Image: Yilong Ma is best known for being Elon Musk's Chinese doppelgänger — but he got suspended on the Chinese platforms Weibo and Douyin this week
Chinese youth "Yi Long Musk" has often made headlines due to his striking resemblance to the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. On May 9, the billionaire generated an online buzz again by asking to meet his Chinese doppelganger, "if he is real." Although the man shares videos on Douyin, China's equivalent of TikTok, some think that he is using deepfake software. But Yi Long's response post from May 10 indicates he does want to meet, ending with the words "you are my hero!"

Elon Musk's Chinese doppelgänger, Yilong Ma, has been suspended on Chinese social media.
Busines Insider saw that his accounts on China's TikTok and Twitter were wiped clean at press time.
Elon Musk previously expressed a desire to meet Ma in person after Ma went viral on social media.
At press time, Insider saw that Ma's page on Douyin — China's version of TikTok — had been purged of all content. At the same time, a content-restriction notification citing a violation of the platform's policies was slapped on Ma's page on Weibo, the country's Twitter-like platform.
Representatives from Douyin's parent company, Bytedance, and Weibo's parent company, Sina, did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider.
In a response to press queries from Insider, Ma said he had not received an appropriate explanation from Weibo or Douyin on why his account was suspended. At press time, he had not responded to a follow-up request from Insider to verify via video call if he truly resembled Musk.
At press time, Ma's page on the international version of TikTok, where he is known by the username "Elong Musk," was still active. Ma has more than 239,000 followers on the platform, with about 3.9 million likes on his videos.
"All platform videos are ported, I only have TikTok. I love you," said the profile description on Ma's TikTok page. Ma first went viral on Douyin in November 2020 for videos that appeared to show a striking resemblance to Musk. He later attracted the attention of Musk when the Tesla CEO quipped in response to a clip of Ma that he, too, may be "partly Chinese."
Ma subsequently uploaded several videos on TikTok, including one in which he expressed his thoughts on Musk's high-profile acquisition of Twitter. In this clip, he points excitedly at a printout of the Twitter icon, calling it "my bird!"
@mayilong0 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 ♬ dance(256762) - TimTaj
Ma's latest video on TikTok is a photo compilation of him posing in front of a Tesla, captioned: "I want to take my brother for a ride in my Tesla! #elonmusk #tesla."
@mayilong0 I want to take my brother for a ride in my Tesla!#elonmusk #tesla ♬ GASLIGHT - INJI
Ma's popularity later led to the Tesla CEO saying he would like to meet Ma in person.
"I'd like to meet this guy (if he is real)," Musk tweeted. "Hard to tell with deepfakes these days."
"I am here. I want very much to see you too! I love you, you are my hero," Ma wrote in response to the billionaire in a post on Weibo.'

LTC Stephen F.
I concur with the draft letter to disgruntled wannabe American Indian Elizabeth Warren
Dear Senator Elizabeth Warren:
Elon Musk recently paid $11 Billion in taxes. Do not lie saying that he did not pay taxes or his 'fair share'. Elon Musk has paid the highest recorded United States tax bill for one individual in history..
Also, the reason the US has its highest tax receipts in the last 7 months is because you are still under the temporary President Trump's lower tax schedule which has reaped profits but Democrats don't like this. If you raise taxes like you plan to do in a dumb way, your tax receipts will go down because you do not believe in Economics 101.
We need to make President Trump's tax cut permanent. Check with the United States budget accounting office and they will verify that lowering taxes actually raises revenue and raising taxes actually lowers Revenue.
Every person in Congress and in the White House should take an economics and finance class so they can see this operational art actually works if done properly.'
