A screenshot with no source, a fabricated quote, and a grieving family's statement were all it took to convince millions that Elon Musk was about to buy OnlyFans.
The claim has resurfaced across social media platforms, recirculating a hoax that first went viral in March 2026. It traces back to a single post from the parody account @DailyNoud, which has no connection to Musk, X, or OnlyFans. There is no press release, court filing, regulatory disclosure, or verified statement from Musk supporting the claim. It is fabricated.
