Elon Musk is probably the most exciting tech celebrity account to follow on Twitter. But with his prolific use of Twitter also comes the risk of his name being used in not-so-fun ways. A high profile scam is using Tesla CEO’s name to make hundreds of thousands of dollars by scamming people out of bitcoins.

Scammers have apparently managed to compromise a number of verified Twitter accounts to pose as Musk and earn money through fake giveaway sites. The verified Twitter accounts that have been targeted so far include British fashion retailer Matalan, US publisher Pantheon Books, independent record label Marathon Artists, and others.
