The hack, at around 11:30 pm on September 25, resulted in the deletion of all videos from the channels, before they were renamed “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and “@Tesla.event.trump_2024,” featuring content focused on Tesla CEO Elon Musk and US presidential candidate Donald Trump. Initially, YouTube disabled both channels, redirecting visitors to a ‘404 not found' page with the message, “This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.”
Ranveer added that the situation made him contemplate his future on the platform. “There was a moment when I felt that I finally have to switch to being a full-time entrepreneur. No more YouTube. But God has other plans,” he said.
