The youtube video was showing Elon Musk announcing this "giveaway". It was created using AI, most likely a fragment from one of his presentations and AI generated voice. Whatever you want to call this, the concept of a scam is probably a second oldest after the "oldest profession", but the way scammers use new technology is its "dark" side in my opinion.
Like with drugs, there is supply and demand, no demand - no supply, with scams - there are fools or naive (myself in this case) and crooks.
Just a comment, really not interested in debating this while leaking my wounds.

To all telling me I'm a fool, thanks for nothing.
To those few who expressed sympathy, thank you very much.
Greed rarely pays back and while I'm not new to scams, I was taken this time. I'm still new to the dark side of AI.
I'll see if I can find any info on reporting this to authorities, etc. The articles are of course useful if you check them before doing something stupid. But even though the scammers are anonymous on the blockchain, they were on youtube, they had to setup an account, they setup a domain and a website. So I think it is a matter of how much authority would want to catch them. Probably not enough to spend Gov's money on this.
At the least, I'd like to find a register where I would provide my info, just a small piece to help others.
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Anyone who will want to respond again bashing me, enjoy yourself.

Yes, unfortunately this is 100% correct. I found numerous references to scams like this one. A very expensive lesson which I will never forget.
Obviously I won't do the 2nd send.

Hello everyone,
I assume many of you are aware of this event, url: trump-debate.com. I caught it on Youtube and tried to send my BTC from my Electrum wallet.
I monitored the transaction on Blockchain.coom, it completed with no issues.
Then I chatted on the event website chat, the person on the other end checked my transaction id and told me that their system decided that it was coming from a suspicious site, because of that it did not generate the expected send back to me for a double amount.
He told me that I had to do another send for 0.1BTC, then the system would unblock my first send, and I would get back the total of both transactions..
I had no more BTC in my wallet and was very angry for why I have to spend more $ because of their problem. The guy was not helping except that he kept telling me I had to do another send.
So I went to one of the exchanges and bought 0.1 BTC. That exchange would not allow me to do any transfers until after 3 days.
I told the guy on the chat, he instructed me to do the send in 3 days and this will resolve the issue.
He gave me my case# and I asked for an address to write, which he gave it too.
I'm wondering if anyone participated in this Giveaway and whether or not had any similar issues.
Also, any info on how I can escalate this in case it doesn't work for me, whether or not you are aware of any contacts to escalate to Tesla, or whatever entity managing this event.
Thanks

Being a novice, this is all an untouched territory for me. I signed up for mempool.space, I learned how to see my transaction and its ETA. How do I find fees?

@hosseinimr93 and @o_e_l_e_o:
What if:
1. I remove the local transaction from the sending wallet
2. I spend all the coins
3. Can later one of the nodes which has my transaction actually complete it? If yes, then what happens?

@logfiles,
"
 • If you ever have even any single feeling that your Private keys could have leaked or someone could be having a copy of them. The best thing to do is to sweep your wallet.
 • You can also sweep your private keys if you want to take all your coins to a new address and destroy the paper wallet.
"
What is the difference between sweeping a wallet vs. sweeping private keys?
I checked my Electrum wallet, I only see an option to Sweep private keys.

First, thank you all for the info, very helpful for a novice like me.
I'm on the latest version of Electrum: 4.4.6, on Windows.
The transactions are now showing as Local in both wallets.
The balance in the receiving wallet shows as if they completed, but the balance is Frozen.
Based on what you all said, these transactions will never be completed because of the low fee. I purposely set it to the lowest possible because the actual amount is under $1, so there is no point in paying ~$20 to speed them up. These are my initial test transactions before I sweep the wallet and send entire balance to the receiving wallet.
What does it mean if I use Remove?
- will it cancel the transaction and reset the balances in both wallets to the pre-transaction value? If Remove is not the same as cancel, how do I cancel?
- what does it mean re-broadcast it after I remove it? Does it mean I enter it in the send tab as a new transaction?
 
thanks!

I sent a small amount of BTC between my two Electrum wallets. After almost 12 hours the transactions status is still Unconfirmed in both wallets.
From Wallet:
Unconfirmed [1.5 sat/b, 503.19 MB]
Unconfirmed [1. sat/b, 503.39 MB]
To Wallet:
Unconfirmed [1.5 sat/b, 503.39 MB]
Unconfirmed [1. sat/b, 503.39 MB]
I don't think this is normal. How do I get this resolved?
thanks

Thank you very much for responding to all my questions, this info is very useful. I'm still wondering what would happen if there is a valid transaction with an address beyond the default 20 unused. I assume the 20 or other number is determined by the original wallet, not by the one I restore. So if there was such a transaction, how would I know if there is one, how would I recover it into the newly restored wallet?
To ALL who responded, I do appreciate your info, all these details complemented the ones I got from @hosseinimr93 and made it more clear.
If anyone could point me to the info on:
- the derivation paths and their flavors
- how would I know if the wallet I'm restoring from seed also need a passphrase?
- how would I know if the seed is from an Electrum wallet or some other like Atomic, etc.
Again thanks everyone

Hello,
Here is a situation:
Computer #1:
- Electrum wallet - password has been lost
- I have a seed phrase which I believe, but not 100% sure, is for the same Electrum wallet
Computer #2:
- I restored an Electrum wallet using the above mentioned seed phrase
Questions:
1. Assuming that I did restore the same wallet that's on Computer#1, does the wallet restored on Computer#2 contain 100% of the assets which are in the wallet on Computer#1? If yes, then I don't need to engage into the breaking of the password using for example JohnTheRipper.
2. Except when the wallets are different, i.e. with different seeds, are there any situations when the restored wallet(using a seed) and its version before the restore would be out of sync?
3. What wallet actions besides the transactions (buy/sell, send/receive, etc.) can change the wallet file's last modified date/time?
I would appreciate a helpful info or pointers to useful resources on the above situation. The assets in this wallet are worth a significant $ amount which I would not want to lose.
thanks
