I'm going to tell you what I did, and you can laugh and think "Wow, what a dumbass".  I deserve it.  If nothing else, LEARN from this.

August 12, just prior to 8 pm.  I'm getting on the computer to watch the Musk / Trump interview, it's probably gonna be good.  I don't have a Twitter / X account, but that's ok, it will probably be streamed on youtube.

So I get on youtube, and type something like "Elon Trump" in the search box.  First thing that comes up is some video of Elon Musk giving a speech, 21,000+ people are watching it, and Elon is talking about how we need to expand the use of crypto, he will double your coins to further its use, and scan this square bar code right here on the screen, it won't be displayed anywhere else. It leads to musktrump.io  .

So at the moment I'm thinking "If Elon is giving out this thing himself it must be okay, right?".  Not necessarily.

So I start getting into my trading account, thinking how much should I risk on this, all the money in my account is used for crypto bets, it is not my daily food and bill money.  I'm having to do this on my phone, because you can't scan the screen with a desktop PC. 

I'm reading it quickly, send in your coins and we will send double the mount back.  Yeah yeah, I've heard this scam before, but this is different, this came from Elon Musk himself, it's got to be okay. 

So what the hell, take a shot, and instead of sending in maybe 1 ETH or something small, I sent in $9000 worth, or 3.32 ETH. 

So then I'm getting a chat box popping up in my phone from the website I just sent my ETH to, saying that "Oh, you have to send TWO different coins in to get the deal".  I'm arguing with them, saying No I don't, that's not in the rules, etc.  And I changed screens on my phone to go back and reread everything, then couldn't get back to the chat box. 

10 minutes goes by, my coins haven't been sent back, single or doubled.  An hour.  A day, all week.  F@CK MY LIFE!!!!!

Afterwards, I went back to the site and looked around more.  Hmmm, no contact info, no Help or Support tabs, no way to reach anyone there except by sending coins.

And on top of all this, when I was in the middle of getting the trade ready, someone called me on the phone I'm trying to do the trade on.  What followed was 5 minutes of "yeah yeah" conversation, trying to get them off the phone so I could continue.  You'd think that would have kicked some sense into my head, and woke me up from this, but no, it didn't.

I didn't even bother to google search something like "elon musk crypto coin giveaway" or any such thing.  I did AFTER I screwed up then I learned about the deep fake videos and such things involved with this.

So now I'm in this situation.  The cash lost wasn't my base amount to invest with, but it was more or less the entire amount of profit I've made on crypto coins this year.  PM me with any information or for a receive address or whatever.
