#TwitterHacked Trending with Account Including Elon Musk Under Attack
Elon Musk’s account was used today to roll out a what seems to be bitcoin scam. The tweet promised anyone double of whatever they deposited to the given address. The tweet came as a surprise to netizens as Elon Musk has already announced he is no way into cryptocurrencies and sudden giveaway of Bitcoin is not something Elon Musk would engage into.
