Tesla CEO Elon Musk shares warning: If a Hot Girl ...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently shared a post on X featuring a humorous meme with Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. The post warns against cryptocurrency scams with the image reading: “There’s an old saying, If a hot girl texts you about crypto, block him”. The meme highlights the common tactic of scammers using fake female profiles to lure victims.

The post, shared earlier today, has gone viral with more than 10.7 million views so far.

Crypto scams are fraudulent schemes that trick people into sending money or sharing sensitive information using the promise of cryptocurrency investments. According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, victims reported $3.9 billion in estimated losses from investment fraud related to cryptocurrency in 2023.
One common type is using a fake name and picture of a ‘hot girl’ (as highlighted by Elon Musk) to lure victims. Another modus operandi of these scams is where scammers promise high returns or guaranteed profits if you invest in a particular coin or project. These often use fake testimonials, slick websites, or even celebrity endorsements—sometimes AI-generated—to appear legitimate. Once the money is sent, the scammers disappear.

Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO recently raised concerns about woke mind virus once again, this time highlighting the rising percentage of US adults identifying as transgender. Author John LeFevre recently shared an X post stating “When I was a kid, we had eating disorders, goths, Wiccans, and parents who forced kids to play a sport to vicariously fulfill some unmet dream of theirs.” “Now we have this”, he wrote, sharing a graph showing the increase in the percentage of US adults identifying as transgender – from 0.4% in 1944 to 3.6% in 2025. The post caught the attention of X owner - Musk who replied saying “This is the woke mind virus in action.”
“Now, it is time for the mind virus to die,” he further added.
