Musk has never endorsed any of these products, nor has Tesla been involved in their creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One widely shared video even includes a fabricated Fox News segment claiming Musk is \u201cfighting the power companies\u201d with this new tech. The segment is a deepfake, the URL is spoofed, and the news anchors are AI-generated or pulled from unrelated clips.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad230466074\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_309686-ad_309691-placement_360569\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6935453015\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"987\" src=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-336623\" style=\"width:411px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-2.png 930w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-2-283x300.png 283w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unrealistic Claims<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each device claims it can reduce electricity bills by 30% to 90%. They supposedly &#8220;filter dirty electricity,&#8221; &#8220;stabilize voltage,&#8221; or &#8220;optimize current.&#8221; These pseudoscientific terms are meant to sound impressive but are completely meaningless in this context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no verifiable lab testing, no peer-reviewed data, and no electrical engineering explanation for how these devices supposedly work.

These reviews are entirely fabricated, often using stock photos or AI-generated faces. Names like &#8220;Dorothy Smith&#8221; and &#8220;James Allen&#8221; are frequently recycled across different product sites.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad2847307085\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_381401-ad_309691-placement_360573\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5315249587\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the before-and-after power bills shown in ads are photoshopped, with inconsistent dates, suspicious fonts, and impossible numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spoofed News Coverage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make the scam seem credible, fake articles are created on websites designed to mimic CNN, Fox News, Bloomberg, and TechCrunch. These articles are loaded with typos, broken links, and sensational headlines like &#8220;Elon Musk Destroys Utility Companies With New Invention.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These pages are often propped up with aggressive SEO tactics so they show up in search results when people Google terms like &#8220;Elon Musk electricity device.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"mwtad124977282\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_381404-ad_309691-placement_381406\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"8735619847\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Real Contact Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scam websites often hide or fake their contact information.

It claims Elon Musk has released a new device that helps regular people &#8220;fight back&#8221; against high energy bills. The video may even feature a fake interview or AI voiceover.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad1744082425\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_360582-ad_309691-placement_360581\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"9971336976\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Click-Through to Fake News Site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clicking the ad leads to a page that looks like a legitimate news outlet. It tells a story about how Musk or Tesla secretly developed this product, only for it to be &#8220;banned&#8221; or &#8220;silenced&#8221; by greedy energy companies. This creates urgency and stokes outrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Redirect to Sales Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A button at the bottom of the article takes you to an e-commerce site selling the device. The product page is professionally designed and full of fake reviews, performance claims, and limited-time offers to pressure you into buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Payment Collection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re asked to enter your name, address, and credit card information. The site may also upsell you on buying multiple units by offering \u201cbulk discounts.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"mwtad2955247847\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_360567-ad_309691-placement_360771\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6224621518\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Data Harvesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you think you\u2019re just buying a device, scammers are collecting your personal information. This data can be resold or used for future scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Delivery of a Worthless Gadget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you receive anything at all, it\u2019s a cheap plastic shell with a capacitor and an LED light. It does nothing. Sometimes, the device never arrives, and attempts to follow up are ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Disappearing Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scam site eventually disappears, often reappearing under a new name like VoltShield, EcoVolt, or PureWatt. Meanwhile, your payment and data are already in the hands of scammers.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad3011432493\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_360571-ad_309691-placement_360772\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5867729999\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"mwtad3575923572\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_309748-ad_309691-placement_360588\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"3906789406\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recognizing Fake Energy Saving Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are red flags to recognize one of these scammer products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Outlandish claims of 50-90% energy savings with no credible proof.
