Ah, Elon Musk—our favorite billionaire provocateur—has once again graced the world with his digital wit. This time, his target? The ever-slimy world of crypto scammers, who, apparently, now think that pretending to be “hot girls” is the key to financial domination. In a recent post on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter), Musk shared an image of Poseidon, the mighty Greek god, accompanied by the sage advice: “There’s an old saying—if a hot girl texts you about crypto, block him.”

Ah, yes. A classic Musk move. What could be more fitting than Poseidon, a sea god, warning you about the treacherous waters of crypto scams? Of course, the internet went wild with this humorous commentary, but beneath the laughs, there’s a point that hits a little too close to home. You see, this “hot girl texting you” trope isn’t just a punchline—it’s an all-too-real scam. And in this world of digital romance, if it looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is.
Let’s be real: it’s a scandalous little scheme that involves scammers, disguised as alluring women, pulling unsuspecting men into crypto schemes. Musk’s suggestion to “hit the block button” is as sound as his usual outlandish musings, and quite frankly, more of us should follow his advice—because trust me, you don’t want Poseidon involved in your financial life.
It’s not all fun and games, though. Beneath the jest lies a serious warning. Crypto scams have been using this romantic con for ages—tricking lonely hearts into parting with their savings by building false trust. If that sounds a bit like a love story gone awry, well, that’s because it is. But let’s not forget the old scam artist Ruja Ignatova, aka the “Crypto Queen,” who ran the OneCoin debacle. It wasn’t a “romance scam,” per se, but she sure knew how to weave trust and personal connections into her fraudulent masterpiece. It’s a bit like dating a Greek god—except with less charming conversation and more financial ruin.
And just to really hammer home the seriousness of this, let’s talk about poor Rodrick Lodge. This 69-year-old gentleman was lured into a scam by a woman named “Anita,” who he thought was his soulmate. They even discussed plans to move to Kenya, and—wouldn’t you know it?—she vanished with his £85,000. All the warnings from his bank couldn’t save him. A few weeks later, Lodge is left heartbroken and poorer than before, reminding us that these scams are nothing short of heartbreakers.
So, while Musk’s post may have been intended as a light-hearted joke, the truth of the matter remains: crypto scams are as real as they come. The next time a “hot girl” slides into your DMs talking about investments, remember Poseidon’s wisdom—block them, or you might find yourself swimming with the sharks.
