Navigate to the comment section of just about any Elon Musk tweet and you’ll notice the top comment is something along the lines of “I have great news, I am giving away 500 ETH,” from an account mimicking Elon Musk’s, with a similar user name and an identical profile photo.

Because of the pervasiveness of these scams on every tweet, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has teamed up with Dogecoin creator, Jackson Palmer, in an effort to eliminate these giveaway scams. The scams are prevalent on most celebrity Twitter accounts, and more specifically on the accounts of tech celebrities and cryptocurrency influencers.

The scams consist of a claim that if fans of the celebrity send a certain amount of Ethereum to a specific address, they will send back double the amount. The scammers then use an army of bots to retweet, like, and reply to the comment in order to ensure that it is the first comment that viewers see when looking at the comment section for a specific tweet.

In May, Palmer developed a script that can automatically block ETH giveaway scammers utilizing the same profile picture of the person they are impersonating. The script would identify these accounts and block them from commenting on the tweet in order to promote their scam.

The script was the first solution offered to the persisting problem, and Musk first reached out to Palmer on September 16th, saying that he would greatly appreciate it if Palmer could “help get rid of the annoying scam spammers.”

About 20 minutes after Musk tweeted this, Palmer posted an update, saying:

“Elon has the script... we had a good chat on how @jack and the Twitter team should definitely automate and fix this problem on their end though.”

It is unclear whether or not Palmer’s script solution will be implemented by Twitter, as the problem has been persisting despite claims from Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, that the company is doing all it can to stop the scammers.

Although most people see right through the scams, unsuspecting victims have lost millions of dollars’ worth of Ethereum to the scammers. A recent report from Bleeping Computer claimed that ETH scammers had stolen $4.3 million worth of the cryptocurrency by targeting people unfamiliar with the space.

The report regarding the severity of the issue comes on the heels of another report from Bleeping Computer that detailed how one ETH giveaway scammer claimed to make $5,000 per night by posing as celebrities like John McAfee and Elon Musk.

It is unclear at this time how effective Palmer’s script will be in preventing the scams from Musk’s Twitter account, or if the scammers will find ways to bypass the script by altering the profile images just enough to not be detected by the script.
