Reason i am writing this: When Elon is tweeting an acronym or a name, he is not tweeting about your random token that's gaining attraction. Tokens are created because people want to cash in on something he says and sometimes those tokens with same name are created beforehand by coincidence.
That's no longer news; that has been happening a lot, and X tweet is the perfect place they use for such things. Not just with Elon, most of those scammers operating the bot. If you check on Dexscreener, you will see new tokens being created with hype names like that every day.

When the $trump token was launched, many who are familiar with such patterns did not take the token seriously, as it was just like some random pump and dump something using the hype, which it was actually a pump and dump token, but it was done by the name owner who took advantage of community trust.
Considered how many people took Elon's last tweets about Ani and Rudy chatbots for pumping tokens with those names, i recon some people will need reminder of this.
I know that new people come every day that will fall into old scams, but more people will know about them, more they spread the word. At least that's what i hope.

I have to say that $trump token just feeded this type of scam even more. I didn't see it coming because who in their right mind would have predicted it. I still have hard time believing it happened.
