Youtube can't manually check all videos. The scammers easily find exploits or use MCNs to bypass these videos. The users should have some awareness to avoid these scams.

There are literally thousands of videos like this. Not only with Elon Musk, but also with Vitalik Buterin, Michael Saylor, Charles Hoskinson, and even John Karony (Safemoon CEO).
I once checked the BTC address of one of them and it received like 18 BTC in 2 days. There is also a news story of someone sending them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Show half a nipple, use a copyrighted song or say something bad about Covid vaccines and your video will be instantly deleted. But these scams don't get deleted. How come?

Things that are detected by the algo are deleted, but those scammers put a lot of efforts to avoid that. No one is making this efforts to post a copyrighted song, or half a nipple.

I remember there were live videos with elon musk scam. That was crazy. 20k live viewers on a scam.
But i think we have Bitcoin long enough so even a dumb person should Not fall for this. And if so, i dont really feel sorry for them

Well phone scams (pretending to be the Police, tax office, bank employee) exist since the telephone was invented and continue to this day, and some are very, very, very creative. So I do feel sorry for this people.

This is not new. This has been ongoing for a while. There was something similar like this for Cardano foundation...

These things are filtered based on audio/image matching in-built in their algorithm. They filter everything related to COVID to avoid misinformation. But crypto exploded beyond their control and they can't filter these videos based on any criteria.

In any arena (online, offline, real world, etc), the scammers always and obviously will always be able to scam people and this is true as per history, even in the days before internet and even now.
Because the scammers know that some (or perhaps many ?) human beings are greedy to the extent that they would even believe anything that is too good to be true. It is unfortunate, however in my analysis this is where the problem is (greed to the extent that people even fall for what seems to be too good to be true).
YouTube, etc have always been updating their algorithms to stop misuse of their platforms. Unfortunately some scammers are always able to work around it. Anyways, I do believe in Karma. What goes around will some day come around.
