A few days ago, Twitter user @meetRealKevin created a deepfake ad for Tesla featuring Ryan Reynolds, with the actor saying “How much do you think it would cost to own a car that’s this f**king awesome?” and “Whose balls do I have to fondle to get a Tesla instead of a shit Corolla?” Elon Musk then replied to the video with a simple “Nice.”
