A prankster's viral video has even got Twitter CEO Elon Musk laughing.

It seems Aaron Crascall, from Dover, can now add the billionaire to his ever-growing army of fans on social media.

The dad-of-three, who used to work in William Hill in his hometown, now has more than 10 million followers on Facebook.

In a recent clip Aaron pokes fun at a safety video on how to escape a criminal in the back of a car.

The original footage shows a woman quickly reclining her seat to free herself from an attacker who has placed a belt around her neck.

But when Aaron attempts to emulate it, his electric seat lowers slowly, to bemused looks from him and his assailant.

An image of Aaron then pops up with the message "In loving memory".

The joke attracted almost 700,000 likes, and a further 5.2 million views when it was reposted by another account on Twitter.

On the repost, Elon Musk responded by tweeting a laughing emoji.

Aaron then shared a screenshot of the comment, with the tweet: "It would of been nice for them to credit my video, but at least Elon Musk saw it."

The funnyman shot to fame by sharing his humorous sketches on social media.

Many of his videos involve pulling pranks on members of the public, such as walking a dinosaur along Canterbury high street.

He is also known for his signature catchphrase: "See you later".
