The "Donation Elon": A Shameless Scammer on X Exposed!
Beware of the "Donation Elon" – one of the latest fake Elon Musks wreaking havoc on X! From February 23 to 26, 2025, I was contacted by this fraudster, and his scam is so outrageous it’s hard to believe: he asked me for donations for his alleged son "Eric." Seriously? The real Elon Musk, one of the richest men in the world, collecting donations for his son? It’s not just ridiculous – it’s a cheap trick to exploit trusting people!
I let the contact drag on for a few days to see through his scheme, but eventually, it got too absurd for me. The "Donation Elon" reached out to me through a middleman on X – yet another proof of how dangerous it is to chat with strangers on this platform. I’ve saved the chat history on a USB drive and can prove this contact happened. But it gets worse: I noticed on Telegram that many of my chats had been deleted. Luckily, I’ve backed up almost all of them – as a warning for all of you!
There are simply too many scammers on X, and it’s starting to feel creepy. These unsettling contacts are piling up, and I can’t help but wonder: Why isn’t X doing anything about it? I’m not blaming the real Elon Musk here – he probably doesn’t even know how his name is being misused. But it’s disappointing that he’s not taking action to make his platform safer. My warning to you: Be careful who you talk to on X – the scammers are lurking everywhere!
