The hack has impacted 7News, Sunrise, Spotlight and the old Today Tonight channel.
A spokesperson for channel 7 said they were "aware" some of their channels were not appearing "as they should".
"Seven is investigating and working with YouTube to resolve the situation as soon as possible," the spokesperson said.
Videos were replaced with a live video of Musk with an AI-generated version of his voice suggesting that users go to a website to deposit cryptocurrencies Ethereum, Dogecoin, or Bitcoin.
"We have done everything to make the process safe...take advantage of this unique opportunity and double your assets now," he said.
The videos now have been replaced by an error message saying the "pages are unavailable".
