Elon Musk Roasted Crypto Scammers With Witty Meme Featuring Poseidon And The Quote:"If A Hot Girl Texts. You About Crypto, Block Him."

Elon Musk has just taken a jab at the crypto world with yet another meme, this time with an image of the Greek god Poseidon rising from the stormy seas alongside the tongue-in-cheek message:

"If a hot girl texts you about crypto, block him."

The meme, which quickly amassed nearly 13 million views within hours of going live.

Beneath the humor, Musk’s post delivers a poignant warning about the growing sophistication of crypto scams, which has become a fixture of the digital asset space.

One of the many methods fraudsters are resorting to is the "hot girl trap", which involves creating a fake female profiles on social media to build trust and manipulate victims into sending money or sharing sensitive information.

The timing of Musk’s post is notable, coming as the crypto industry faces renewed scrutiny after a string of high-profile hacks and a surge in scam losses. According to FBI data, crypto-related investment fraud cost victims over $5.6 billion in 2023, up 45% from the previous year.

In Febrary, Bybit suffered the largest hack in crypto history, losing over $1.5b in ETH. The attack was traced to the North Korean-linked Lazarus Group and involved complex social engineering tactics that bypassed internal safeguards.

Musk, known for his influence on digital markets and his candid takes on crypto, has a history of both championing and critiquing the industry. While he has sparked rallies in coins like Bitcoin and Dogecoin with just a single tweet, he’s also been quick to call out pump-and-dump schemes and reckless behavior.

His meme walks between the lines of joke and warning, urging the crypto community to stay vigilant and skeptical—especially when approached by strangers online promising quick profits or romance.

In a market still plagued by scams and uncertainty, Musk’s message is clear: when it comes to crypto, trust your instincts and don’t fall for obvious traps.
