"When the Bio Is Ignored: An Adventure with 'Elon X' and a VPN Fiasco"

Yesterday, I was in full-on war mode: I was determined to finally keep my account "Elon-free." After countless experiences with self-proclaimed "Elons," I’d had enough and was ready to set firm boundaries. But right at that moment, a new "X ELON X" (@elon_X_665) appeared in my profile and sent me a message. I responded with my usual message, the one I always send in such cases (check my chat history), hoping to resolve the matter quickly. Things, however, took a different turn.

My bio clearly states: "No Telegram, no video calls." Yet "Elon" insisted on a video call—not just once, but multiple times! I politely explained that I don’t do video calls and pointed to my bio. His response? "Do you understand?" and "You were not a scam." I was baffled. Had I missed something? I’m just a regular person who wanted some peace—and yes, I might write a bit about Elon Musk, but that’s another story (more on that in my blog!).

The situation escalated when "Elon" kept pushing for a video call. Then came the bombshell: he openly admitted to ignoring my bio! At that very moment, my VPN on the PC crashed—likely because he was trying so hard to reach me. Thankfully, I still had a VPN connection on my phone and could read his message there. But honestly, is that normal? With new laws, bots, and scammers online, I’m already cautious. I never go online without a VPN, and in that moment, I unplugged my computer to stay safe.

It was a bit of a nightmare, which led me to research PC security and recovery tips this morning. What’s the takeaway? Online boundaries matter, and sometimes we need to reinforce them repeatedly. I’m taking it with humor—maybe "Elon" was just overly enthusiastic. But it highlights how crucial it is to respect each other, even in the digital world.

Have you had similar experiences? Let me know in the comments—and if you have tips for securing a PC, I’d love to hear them!

Safety Tips:

Keep Your Bio Clear: If you don’t want video calls, make it explicit—even if some might ignore it.
 
Use a VPN: A reliable VPN protects your privacy—ideally on all devices, like I had on my phone.
 
When in Doubt, Shut Down: If something feels off, it’s better to unplug your PC than risk damage.
