Elon Musk asked the creator of Dogecoin to help stop the Twitter scam bots

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, asked Jackson Palmer, creator and founder of Dogecoin, for support to fight the crypto scammers who make his life annoying on the twitter platform.

The request was made through a tweet issued by Musk on September 17 in which he said:

"@Ummjackson if you can help get rid of the annoying spam scammers, that would be much appreciated."

Palmer responded to the tweet quickly by asking Musk to communicate with him using direct messages. The creator of Dogecoin promised to send Musk the script that could solve the problem:

"If you send me a DM (your DMs are not open), I'll send you the script, it's brief, you simply run it with cron somewhere."

It seems that Musk did not take long to respond, since in a few minutes Palmer tweeted an update:

"Update: Elon has the script ... we had a good conversation about how @jack and the Twitter team should definitely automate and fix this problem for themselves."

In July, a tweet from Elon Musk apparently hinted that the billionaire CEO has fun with scam bots posing as celebrities on Twitter, including himself, in a move that involves tricking people into stealing Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies .

Then he published: "I want to know who is running the Etherium scambots! Crazy skill "

Musk is not the only personality whose identity has been usurped by scam bots. Multiple Twitter scam accounts have tried to pass themselves off as Litecoin's founder, Charlie Lee, and even Ethereum's own founder, Vitalik Buterin, while others have posed as the CEO and founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov.

In September, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey suggested that the social network could use blockchain technology to combat misinformation and scams on its platform.

Finally, despite the fact that Jackson Palmer is named after the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, the price and capitalization of Dogecoin have remained virtually the same in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Even so, at the beginning of September it was a success for the currency, since DOGE had seen a significant increase since August 30, at one point it rose 135 percent in just three days.

Really Dogecoin is not a cryptocurrency that we can expect much, it is more useful for trading than to use it as a payment method, however, if in a hypothetical case, Palmer got some association with a large company like Tesla, the future of the active could change exponentially towards a more positive future.
