YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMeet Elon Musk’s doppelgänger – a singer from Luxembourg who says his uncanny resemblance to the tech entrepreneur is “not a compliment”.
Hugo One, 28, is regularly mistaken for Musk – who runs Tesla – and says he gets stopped while at the supermarket, bars and queues for nightclubs and doesn’t enjoy the comparison.
Hugo was most recently stopped on a reunion night out with pals in Aberdeen, Scotland, when a group of lads shouted “you’re Elon Musk” at him.
Deciding to film the encounter, the strangers “couldn’t believe” he wasn’t the businessman.
Hugo says he’s stopped twice a month by strangers who comment on his likeness to Musk with a “few brave souls” even asking for a selfie.
Musk, 53, is a senior advisor for the White House but more widely known as the founder of SpaceX, product architect for Tesla and owner of X, formerly Twitter.
Despite the “unwanted attention”, Hugo “likes the way he looks” and can’t see himself changing his appearance.
