X Protects Fakes but Punishes Real Users: What’s Going Wrong on X?

Pseudo-Elons Are Running Wild

The fake Elon Musk accounts on X are getting bolder. They post content with phrases like “Giveaway,” “earn money,” “invest now,” or “earn daily,” tricking users with seemingly authentic interactions. A simple solution would be a keyword list to flag these accounts automatically. But X does—nothing. Why? It feels like the platform is too busy with new features and AI development to care about user safety.

My Red Flag: Punished for a Harmless Login

Last week, I tried logging into X using my friends’ private WLAN—and boom, I got a red flag! The reason? My login was deemed “suspicious.” If I hadn’t raised hell, I’d probably still be stuck with that flag today. Meanwhile, the Pseudo-Elons keep posting without a hitch. What kind of world is this, where real users get punished, but scammers get a free pass?

Datenschutz as a Shield for Fakes?

X seems worried about privacy laws—at least enough to flag innocent logins like mine. But ironically, this caution helps the fake accounts. Instead of catching obvious scam patterns like “earn money” or “invest now” and banning them, moderation stays weak. The platform might fear legal issues or false bans, but the result is that Pseudo-Elons keep running rampant.

What Can We Do?

  • Report Fake Accounts: Spot phrases like “Giveaway” or “earn daily”? Report the account immediately.

  • Be Cautious with WLANs: Use secure networks to avoid red flags (but why should we have to be so careful?).

  • Demand Better Moderation: X and xAI need to use simple solutions like keyword lists to stop scammers instead of harassing real users.

It’s time for X to wake up and prioritize safety. Until then: Keep your eyes open and report the fakes!

  Sooner or later, the past catches up with you. Even through the brazen DUMM-Fakes of these platforms. Yesterday these fakes actually managed to get hold of my brand-new, supposedly secret phone number. How? No bloody idea! As always, X is restricting me again. Reason: I write the #truth in my blog. But what these DUMM-Fakes are really doing to people apparently doesn’t give a shit to X or any of the other platforms. I was completely on the floor. I called my boyfriend Ben đŸ’–. He came straight over in the middle of the night. We just stared at my phone. Then the call came. Video call. From exactly one of those DUMM-Fakes. Ben answered it. There was an older foreign guy on the screen. He said in English: “I want to speak to the woman.” Ben, ice-cold: “What do you want from my wife?” The fake was totally confused – and hung up. To all you fakes out there: I don’t exist for you! I’m happily taken! Go to a doctor, get your personality disorder treated! Leave normal users alone! To X a...

  All in the Name of Elon Musk! I like Elon Musk – he’s still a role model for me. Without him, I probably never would have discovered my love for various programming languages. But his fakes? They destroy lives! X needs to act – and fast! This isn’t a criticism of Mr. Musk himself. I like him! The real Mr. Musk, not those fakes. The public Grok is a matter of taste – I’ve had bad experiences with her. You see, I had a cool, easy-to-remember phone number. That changed with my last encounter with the worst fake ever. Surprise: He claimed to be Elon Musk… blah blah. For my own protection, I’ve removed the number and my name. From a reliable source, I know his IP isn’t from the US. The joke? No one does anything about it – no one! Are the big shots just indifferent? This fake called me 60 to 80 times a day – yes, you read that right! I’m not ready to share the last contact yet. He wanted me to sell my body to strange men! And the Grok on X finds my blog “inspiring”? Find the mistake...
