The Gift Card Preacher: A Spanish Elon Musk and His Holy Scam Crusade

Buckle up, dear readers of TheDarkSideOfX, because we’re diving back into the cesspool of fake Elon Musks with a fresh, infuriating chapter! This saga, first spilled on April 17, 2025, just got a sequel nobody asked for—starring a particularly delusional scammer who I’m convinced was a Spanish Elon impersonator, thanks to his occasional slip into Español when messaging my best friend. This guy didn’t just exploit my pain; he turned it into a full-blown telenovela of scams, complete with holy platitudes and demands for gift cards while I was recovering from a brutal surgery. Grab your popcorn—this one’s a wild ride.It all started on February 23, 2025, when

ØØ68 (yes, with those sneaky Dutch zeros) slithered into my X DMs with the tired line, “Thanks for being a fan, how’s the weather?” (12:02). Charming, right? Except I was five days out of the hospital, barely holding it together after a serious medical “incident” that left me bedridden, jobless, and under strict doctor’s orders to avoid stress (12:04). Did this fake Elon care? Not a chance. He barreled on, asking about my “occupation job” (12:02) and pushing me to move our chat to Telegram (12:09). I made it crystal clear: “I’m not buying Bitcoin, Tesla, or your shady membership card. Others have tried and failed” (12:06). Did he listen? Nope. This guy had the reading comprehension of a brick wall. And apparently, X is just fine letting scammers like him run wild with their fancy Øs.On Telegram, he earned his title: The Gift Card Preacher. This genius demanded I buy a €100 gift card—first Walmart, then Apple—to “invest” in his magical platform that’d supposedly net me €1800 in two days (March 6, 2025, 15:09). Walmart? In Germany? I laughed through my pain and told him, “Buddy, Walmart’s been gone from Germany since 2006” (15:00). Undeterred, he pivoted to Apple gift cards, instructing me to “go to the supermarket” (20:37). Newsflash, Preacher: Apple gift cards aren’t a thing for “investments” here, as I confirmed online and with my niece in the States (15:59–16:00). I was broke—accounts overdrawn or empty (14:58)—but did he care? Nope. “Go to the supermarket,” he droned (15:03), completely ignoring that I couldn’t even access my funds (15:04). I vented, “Why does nobody read what I write on the internet?” (15:12). His response? He called me “stubborn” (15:15) and claimed he was “helping” me recover money I’d lost to other scams. The audacity!What made this slimeball extra vile was his fake Christian shtick. While I was in the hospital, battling fever, multiple surgeries, and feeling like a “monster” (March 11, 2025, 12:00), he sprinkled “Pray to God” (March 15, 2025, 18:30) and “God will protect you” (March 22, 2025, 11:28) like some budget televangelist. I’d lost my faith—“I don’t know what to believe anymore” (March 15, 2025, 19:02)—and he weaponized that, preying on my despair. At my lowest, I wrote, “Maybe I’ll stop taking the pills so it’s over faster… or take them all at once” (March 6, 2025, 15:21). His response? Crickets. Just more gift card nagging.The kicker came a day after another major surgery on March 20, 2025. I was barely conscious, under strict orders not to move—not even to use the bathroom—when this creep messaged me again, demanding I get up and buy an Apple gift card. I couldn’t believe it. Who asks a bedridden, post-op patient to run errands for their scam? My best friend, bless her, jumped in like a superhero when he tried messaging her too. She shut him down with a glorious, “NO!” This fake Elon, who’d slipped into Spanish with her in earlier chats, threw a tantrum in ALL CAPS: “GEH WEG!” (Go away!)—as if she was the problem, chilling on her own couch. Then, the cherry on top: he threatened to report her to the “Cyperpolizei” (yes, he spelled it like that). Spoiler: the cyberpolice never showed. Shocker.In the end, my friend and I blocked this gift-card-begging, fake-holy Elon on both Telegram and X. We reported him to the German and American police, but—surprise, surprise—nothing’s changed. X, are you asleep at the wheel? This Gift Card Preacher is still out there, peddling his scams and fake prayers, while X lets accounts like

@spacex2

ØØ68 and his ridiculous gift card crusade. Don’t let his crocodile tears or “God will protect you” nonsense fool you. #ScamAlert #XNeedsToDoBetterDisclaimer: All details are based on my personal experiences, chat logs, and the sheer absurdity of this scammer’s persistence. The conversations outside the blog, including his demands post-surgery, were just as infuriating but weren’t included in the original post for brevity.
