Twitter is hacked! Elon Musk, Apple, Obama, and Many Other Accounts Affected!
A hacker got into Musk's account and is tweeting out fake bitcoin scams trying to get people to send money to the hacker's account with the promise of "paying back double" what the person sends.

This is why I don't trust most people with voting.
I'd rather be real and rejected than fake and accepted.

Individualism is the logical conclusion of rational political/social opinions. Leftism is the absence of any.

The address the hacker tweeted out has received over 4 btc and climbing.

I'm hearing other high profile twitter accounts were hacked as well. I'm seeing other blue checkmarks trying to claim it's real and that they received money back, they're likely hacked bots helping pump up the scam.

It's been going on non-stop, but until now it's been fake bot accounts set up to look like Musk's account. Some were even hacked blue checkmark "verified" accounts, and amazingly twitter didn't demand re-verification before changing the screen name. Now they've stepped up to hacking major accounts like Elon Musk and Bill Gates.

Alternatively, it *could* be a hack of a third party service that sends out tweets on a schedule.
