Elon Musk Squashes Ethereum (ETH) Scammers With Boost From Crypto Creator

By Daily Hodl Staff

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has had enough of the pesky and relentless crypto scammers on Twitter.

Musk reached out to the creator of Dogecoin Jackson Palmer to ask how he can take matters into his own hands.

Palmer has already coded a script that blocks scam bots and promptly sent the code to Musk, noting the two talked about the need for Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to be more proactive.

Elon has long lamented crypto scammers, and last month joked that they were convincing enough to make him want to buy Ethereum.

Twitter is working to remove scammers, although the impact of its efforts is debatable. The social media giant recently banned more than 400 accounts from the platform for engaging in “coordinated manipulation.”
