YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as Beerbiceps, fell prey to a cyber attack when his YouTube channels were hacked on September 25. Both his channels were hacked and renamed to “Tesla,” with all the videos deleted.

The hackers changed the name of his channel ‘BeerBiceps’ to “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and his personal channel to “@Tesla.event.trump_2024.” Reportedly, his videos were replaced with old streams from events featuring Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Posting a photo of a meal he had while travelling from Singapore to Mumbai, the YouTuber wrote, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers. Death of BeerBiceps met with Death of diet.”

He posted another story with a selfie with an eye mask with the caption, “Is this the end of my YouTube career? Was nice knowing you all.”
