Scammers continue to create fake Elon Musk accounts on Twitter as part of a scam to steal cryptocurrency. The imposters typically hack into an already verified account, and then copy Musk's profile page.

Twitter has struggled to control these accounts, having them appear – at times – as part of sponsored tweets. –BUSINESS INSIDER       2.
