They could be twins because the resemblance is uncanny. Yilong Ma, referred to by some as one of the elon musk brothers from different mother, has captivated Chinese netizens. But Chinese netizens can no longer see ‘Yilong Ma’ on their social media platforms because the Elon Musk doppelgänger’s accounts have been suspended.
Yilong Ma account is still up, so far, on TikTok, where he goes by ‘Elong Musk’ @mayilong0 so that you can see it for yourself.
@mayilong0 Actually I don’t know what I’m talking about, please forgive me. I’m embarrassed, I need an English teacher.#elonmusk #twins #tesla
In February, shortly after he started the account, he introduced himself in a post, writing, “I’m Elon Musk’s Chinese brother, speaking English for the first time, a little nervous, hope everyone likes me.”

After this, the account went viral, with some of his posts reaching over 10 million views. Yilong Ma, who looks like Elon Musk’s brother, now has almost 241,000 followers.
In one video, he even makes a reference to Elon Musk’s bid to buy Twitter.
@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
However, his accounts seem to have been suspended from the Chinese versions of TikTok and Twitter, which are Douyin and Weibo, respectively, Business Insider reported on Thursday (May 19).
Insider said that all content had been removed from Ma’s Douyin page, and a notification of a violation of Weibo’s policies was posted on his account on that platform.
But Yilong Ma told Insider that neither Douyin nor Weibo had clarified why his accounts had been suspended.
His popularity has reached the Tesla CEO, who tweeted earlier this month that he’d like to meet his doppelgänger, that is, “if he is real” because it’s “hard to tell with deepfakes these days.”
I’d like to meet this guy (if he is real). Hard to tell with deepfakes these days.

A deepfake is a digitally altered image to make a person look like someone else. These images have been commonly used maliciously or to spread false information.
In a Weibo post, Yilong Ma responded to Musk, writing, “I am here. I want very much to see you too! I love you, you are my hero.”
Commenters on Ma’s TikTok’s have been astounded at how similar the two men look. 
Many, however, have expressed their doubts.
One netizen said that Ma has “better hair” than the business magnate. /TISG
