I saw a lot of people mentioning it in the comments of this NileRed video. I searched for this and not found a lot of information. It seems like it has something to do with Elon Musk (in this case maybe I won't want to learn).

Does anyone know?

Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they're essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

Yes, that maybe be it. But they're like the 3-5th comments, and have thousands of likes, and seem like legit comments are first. How do they do that?

Run by the same people. There is a ~~Jim Browning~~ Atomic Shrimp video about this.

Do you recall the name of it or more about it? All his videos have really generic titles (assuming for algorithm purposes).

the other accounts bot like each other so that their comments go to the top

Maybe for their first (genuine appearing) part, they use snippets from other, actual human comments? Because they really look quite convincing
