In the online streaming scene, one of the biggest names is Rachel “Rae” Hofstetter aka Valkyrae. This Ex-Twitch streamer is one of the most-watched Female Live Streamers on YouTube. It hasn’t been a long time since Valkyrae permanently moved to YouTube from Twitch. And ever since her move, her channel is witnessing a significant boom. But recently, the channel was compromised by anonymous individuals who used it to promote one of Elon Musk-owned automotive companies.
Did Elon Musk hack Valkyrae’s Channel?
Currently, Rachel exclusively streams and uploads content on YouTube. Her channel has more than 3 million subscribers and her videos get an average of 100K-500K views. She had huge collaborations with big names in the music and entertainment industry, such as Jimmy Fallon and Machine Gun Kelly.

Recently, many fans witnessed a very peculiar occurrence on Valkyrae’s YouTube channel. The Channel’s name was changed to “Tesla 2024” and videos and streams related to Elon Musk and Tesla were posted on the channel. This raised many questions and concerns in the community.
Rachel took to social media to give an update on the situation. She said, “currently being hacked on YouTube and they changed my username to Tesla and proceeded to play a Tesla video on livestream lol..”. There were no proves or leads about the individual/individuals responsible for this mishap. But according to Valkyrae…
I was wondering why I got a tesla alert of some guy when I don't follow tesla on YouTube.

“@elonmusk if you’re the one hacking me plz stop” added the top female streamer of YouTube. In the comments, many other content creators have reported that this same occurrence also happened to them. Popular VTuber Snuffy notified, “this happened to me not long ago too, same Tesla marketing stuff”.
Many fans and Twitter users also flooded the platform, talking about this anonymous hacker who so far has successfully hacked many channels and done the same shenanigan. So far, no information about these hackers has been found yet, but many fans believe that this may be a ploy by Tesla itself to promote its upcoming projects or that some avid fan of Elon Musk must have done this to win his attention.

Imagine being so needy for attention that you need to steal away someone else's audience to feel heard. And to then only offer that attention to someone else who won't even care. What a poor person
