The claim is that you send 0.1-20 BTC to an address and will receive 2x the amount back. Website of the scam is: hxxps://spacex-btc.info/

VirusTotal did not find any cryptominers on the website: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/7d0c3e6e0490b8d3ddf1c2b569a02b0bcca225cc382fa9c08085e1dc6893064e/detection

The recipient address is: https://blockchair.com/search?q=1Musk14ewfyb8di327SCbokG8WZK5bggby

So far it seems noone fell for it, but the scammer was successful to get his fake stream of SpaceX Dragon discussion promoted on the front page of YouTube (83k watching). Beware of unreasonable offers claiming to give free money. Nothing is free. Actively report and discourage participation in such attempts to protect the good public image of all cryptocurrency platform.
