A clip of a man dancing happily with his daughter in Turkey has gone viral — not only for the sweet moment, but because the man bears an uncanny resemblance to billionaire business magnate Elon Musk. The internet is abuzz with amusement and incredulity, as many viewers jokingly wondered if the tech tycoon had embarked on a new life in Turkey.
The lighthearted video presents the man clad in a black T-shirt printed with the logo of Tesla, further fueling the visual deception. His expression, haircuts, and features bear a great resemblance to Elon Musk, leaving people in spasms of comic reactions on the social media websites.
The video, posted by a well-liked Instagram handle, has the caption of a fun line describing what it would look like if the world’s richest individual opted for making dance reels. The audience on social media couldn’t keep their sides straight, with witticism spilling in on the comment box. One suggested, “When did Elon Musk become an Instagram influencer?” and another made the remark, “That’s Elon Musk if he retired early and settled down in Turkey.
Interestingly, this is not the first time a person who looks like Elon Musk has gone viral. Earlier, another Pakistan-based Musk lookalike gained public attention, with his video also gaining popularity for the same reason — almost perfect resemblance to the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
These accidents continue to exemplify how the internet can transform ordinary moments and common individuals into web sensations, particularly when their look reminds everyone of a universally known face. Whether or not these doppelgangers bask in fame, it is obvious that their surprise resemblance to one of the most discussed personalities in technology is providing netizens with something to smile about.
For the meantime, the Turkish “Elon Musk” is now the web’s new go-to doppelgänger simply because he’s shared a romantic dance with his daughter.
