Elon must act to stop the tide of frauds swamping Twitter - Ed Sheeran, Bear Grylls, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland have all had their names exploited in scam tweets. So, ironically, has Elon Musk. (www.mirror.co.uk)

I'm sorry, I can't agree that nothing should be done. I would love Twitter to die, but these scams are actively hurting people. They are criminals and must be stopped and Twitter is doing nothing about it, even when Elon himself is used as bait.

The biggest scammer of them all runs Twitter, so don't get your hopes up too high.

I'm not hopeful at all. If anything, it will get worse.
