For the love of god stop sending 'Elon Musk' your Ethereum. It's a scam.

People, please please please listen closely: Elon Musk (https://mashable.com/category/elon-musk/) is not giving away Ether (https://mashable.com/category/ethereum/).*
Scammers have swarmed Twitter in recent weeks in an attempt to trick people out of their hard-earned cryptocurrency (https://mashable.com/category/cryptocurrency/), and as a particular tweet today makes clear they're having a lot of success.*
SEE ALSO: Has Elon Musk finally ... cracked? (https://mashable.com/2017/06/08/elon-musk-worried-tweets/)
The scam itself is incredibly simple, and starts with someone famous tweeting out some random statement. Like this, for example:
Today’s Falcon launch carries 2 SpaceX test satellites for global broadband. If successful, Starlink constellation will serve least served.
