While on ‘X’ I started a conversation with someone claiming to be Elon Musk. Obviously I was very suspicious but I played along for awhile. When this fake tried to get me to invest money in something that is when I stopped playing along. At one point I had about 12 fake Elon Musk accounts trying to start up a conversation with me again. After making fun of them with mockery they eventually gave up.

I don’t trust anyone online that is not a Nigerian prince.

Back in the day I had a supposed African prince trying to scam me.

I played along for three weeks continually frustrating the scammer, feigning misunderstandings, making minor mistakes in our communications, getting fake angry at them for misunderstanding me. I would hurl curse words at them and disparage their stupidity for being so dense.

They finally gave up. I had some time on my hands at the time.
