In early December 2024, a video generated great repercussion on social media, with the eye-catching title: “Elon Musk Goes Undercover as Homeless in a Restaurant – The Shocking Ending Will Blow Your Mind!” . The recording, which has already accumulated more than 450,000 views, aroused the curiosity of many about what really happened during that supposed social experiment starring Elon Musk.

According to the video, Musk disguised himself as a homeless man to enter an upscale restaurant called The Copper Elm , located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Musk’s goal was to test how people judge others based solely on their appearance.

At the restaurant, the story goes that Musk was almost kicked out, but a waitress named Sophia welcomed him, offering him a table. During his meal, Musk reportedly heard disrespectful comments from other customers and employees, except Sophia, who treated him with dignity.

In the end, Musk revealed his true identity and harshly criticized the behavior of the others, leaving a generous tip of $50,000 for Sophia as a form of recognition.’

The video, which was created with the help of artificial intelligence tools for editing and narration, quickly spread across several platforms, such as YouTube and Facebook, generating discussions and raising questions about the veracity of the story. However, many wonder whether this is really a social experiment or just another marketing ploy.
