Well, sue Musk for pulling security features from Twitter and enabling scams like that.

Whoever the hell keeps on falling for this shit when Vitalik has repeated over and over and over again that he does NOT do any of these bullshit online giveaways?

It's like falling for the Nigerian prince scam. Some people insist on being conned.
