TL;DR

Hackers gained control of Linus Tech Tips and Tech Quickie YouTube channels to promote a fake cryptocurrency giveaway using Elon Musk's name. The Linus Tech Tips team quickly regained control of the channel and removed all links to the scam. The channel has since disappeared from YouTube, but it is expected to return in the future. The hackers' poor grammar suggests they are foreign scammers, and the real Elon Musk and Tesla have nothing to do with the scam.
