It's because there are still people who blindly trust SpaceX/Elon Musk and everything he says.
I've never really figured why so many scammers settled on him. He's an erratic druggist. Then again maybe they think he'll be off his trolley enough to do a real one some day.
After all this time I can't rustle up any sympathy for anyone who falls for this type of thing any more. It's so obvious it's painful.
