In mid -April 2023, a video recording with Ilon Mast at one of the events of his company was scattered on social networks, where the Russian -speaking song “At the Dawn” was supposedly included for the public. We decided to check if this is a fake.
According to numerous posts in social networks, the video captures how Tesla employees have fun under the song of the Alliance group founded in the USSR. At the same time, “verified” found several versions of where the record was made: either on factoryeither on discovery new car dealership in the USA. In addition, the authors of some publications accompany Video with joking comments that Elon Musk is an “Kremlin agent”. In Telegram channel "Uncle Glory"(149,000 views at the time of writing this text) wrote that the billionaire" as always, demonstrates his independence from all Russian elements. "
Similar posts also appeared in the channels "Observer"(193,000 views), Voblya (153,000), "Bullet"(149,000),"Sheikh Tamir"(146 000),"Yakov Kedmi"(100,000),"Bottle"(97 000),"Ostashko! Important"(95 000), Fox News Russia (90,000), "Alexander Semchenko"(89,000),"Cartridge"(80 000), Putin TG Team (twice: 76 000 And 69,000), "Petya the first"(70,000),"The first patriotic"(65,000) and"Boiling water"(56 000). The video also dispersed on VKontakte (examples here, here, here, here And here), Twitter (here, here, here, here And here), Tiktok (here, here, here And here) And Some sites.
“Verified” did not find any news notes in authoritative foreign media that the composition “at the dawn” sounded in American factories or in Tesla car dealerships. With the help of the opposite Search From the pictures in Yandex, we found out that the event shown on the video distributed in April 2023 occurred on March 22, 2022. That day took place Grand opening GigaFactory Berlin-Brandenburg - The Tesla plant in Grunhaida near Berlin. In addition to the mask, at the event Present And the Chancellor of Germany Olaf Sholts. In honor of the opening of a billionaire personally I gave it 30 clients from the first Tesla Model Y cars collected in Germany.
The full video, the passage of which was encircled in Runet, lasts a little more than 10 minutes. It appeared On the YouTube channel Teslaralf March 23, 2022. According to the description of the video, an eyewitness shot down how Musk handed over the first five cars to the happy owners. The fragment of interest begins at the mark 6:44 and ends on 6:53At the same time, in the viral video, the visual row was cropped and a fragment of another video was added there (we are talking about the last four seconds). At that moment, against the background, it was not the song “At the Dawn”, but by the Walking on Water composition by the American musical duo The Knocks and Totally Enormous Extinect Dinosaurs. In general, not a single Russian track was turned on for all 10 minutes of timing, but I'M in Love with My Car Queen, What a Wonderful World Louis Armstrong, You & Me Disclosure and Eliza Dully, as well as The Way I Am Eminem, were also used.

In the process of searching for the primary source of a fake video, we stumbled upon publications, which reported that the video seemed to be recorded by the Russian -language employee of Tesla. For example, this was written in the Telegram channel "Secular chronicles"(65,000 views) and blog IA REGNUM On the platform "Zen" (97,000). However, the earliest record appeared On VKontakte in the public “Underground show business” (37,000 views) on April 12, 2023 at 20:27 Moscow time. Below are the full text.
At the Ilona Mask factory, our Russian song “At dawn 2020” Sergei Harutyunov is listened to before the work shift. “I work at the Tesla factory. A simple engineer, so I don’t really boast, but still seeing a mask for me is not such an event. It happens that he accepts us personally in his office - the dude is as open and simple as possible. The story is: I am already used to the "Nenishki" speech (wife too), but the order of the oigel, when, at the next morning gathering instead of a traditional corporate anthem, I sounded "at the dawn of 2020" Sergey Harutyunov. In addition to me, there are only a couple of other Russian -speaking, so it is unlikely that Musk chose it from love for us. Foreigners do not understand a fig, but have fun from the heart. And we, with the CIS, are just getting high now almost every day. It seems indecent to ask personally at the mask what we deserve such a morning party, it seems indecent-not my friend. I’ve been tormented by intrigue for a long time and at the same time I am happy that our Sergey Harutyunov is listening even so far abroad. Such things, such an insider infa to you in a piggy bank. But the video, shot underground! "

"At the dawn" - the song of the group "Alliance", released in 1987. The author of music and text was Oleg Parastaev, Disappearing June 20, 2020. A couple of months before his death, together with Sergey Harutyunov, he recorded a new version of the song - “At dawn 2020” - and He took off clip.
Apparently, the creation of a fake is responsible for the PR team of Harutyunov. The author was noted at the original post with a quote of “employee Tesla” - Olga Bubnova. The description of her profile on VKontakte says that she works PR, and among her subscriptions - a community called "Sergey Arutyunov", In which it is indicated among administrators marked" PR, concerts. " Moreover, April 15 Harutyunov Recorded The video in which he said that he knows about the “appearance” of his song at the Tesla event and is proud of it.
[For] The last couple of days I received a bunch of links, where our song “At dawn 2020” sounds at the Tesla factory with Oleg Parastayev. Well, cool! I listened - really our song, this is really my voice. And in general, pleasant and proudly for us who did it, and for you, who listens and supports her. Well, of course: "How do you like it, Elon Musk?" Your Sergey Arutyunov.
In addition to a false quote about fake video, in the original post there is a screenshot of the alleged video call of a certain person - this is Sergey Harutyunov.

The situation in which the musician did not know about the creation of a fake with his participation with his participation by his own PR agents, it seems unlikely, but still it is impossible to exclude this by 100%.
