I'm not really sure how people think Elon Musk needs donation. Probably the same way as a Nigerian Prince scam.

LOL. Those scams generally don't ask for donations. They advertise themselves with something like "Elon Musk decides to giveaway bitcoin in celebration of SN10 landing". Then they'll have some explanation about how the most tech-savvy man wants you to "learn" bitcoin. So, as a proof, you need to send some BTC and Musk will send you double of that.

There generally are lot of supporting replies saying, "OMG, My life has changed. Thank you so much @elon"..

It is indeed funny that people still fall for these scams.

I do not really use social media as I do not have a need for it so I find interesting how they can justify asking for money in a scam when the person they are impersonating does not need money at all, this is why I have always thought that while it is important to protect yourself from hackers at the same time you need to make a greater effort to protect yourself from scammers as they are the ones that can really get to your coins easily by convincing people to give them away to them.
