Elon must act to stop the tide of frauds swamping Twitter - Ed Sheeran, Bear Grylls, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland have all had their names exploited in scam tweets. So, ironically, has Elon Musk.

No he shouldn't. He should just do nothing. Let Twitter die already. Also those are all so obviously AI generated images lol

I'm sorry, I can't agree that nothing should be done. I would love Twitter to die, but these scams are actively hurting people. They are criminals and must be stopped and Twitter is doing nothing about it, even when Elon himself is used as bait.

Maybe to someone who's online and knows what to spot it is. For a normie, it's good enough to pass off as authentic.

You and I wind up subsidizing these scams, as victims can fall into the social safety net.
