Elon Musk promises to deal with crypto scam bots
Recently, Elon Musk has several time initiated Twitter discussions about crypto scam bots that have been spreading around Twitter space. One of the problems Musk said he would solve when he buys Twitter and takes in private is get it rid of these fake accounts.
However, the “when” has recently become an “if” since Musk suspended the deal to acquire Twitter. As Musk said, 90% of Twitter users could be scammers. So now he’s waiting for confirmation that these make up no more than five percent of Twitter’s entire user base.
However, as reported earlier this week, according to a high-profile Twitter executive Vijaya Gadde, there is “no such thing as a deal being on hold,” and everything in this one is going as planned with Elon Musk.
How DOGE Could Be Used Against Scammers: Musk, Mr. Cuban
In early May, Musk backed the idea of leveraging Dogecoin to combat crypto scam bots on Twitter suggested by billionaire, investor, and DOGE fan Mark Cuban.
Cuban, whose Dallas Mavericks basketball team sell tickets and merchandise for DOGE in their online store, suggested that it would be a good idea to get every Twitter user to put up 1 Dogecoin for unlimited posts.
In this way, real users, humans, could receive DOGE paid by bots after challenging its message.
