Palmer responded immediately, stating that he had developed a simple script that was ready to be executed and that had the ability to eradicate the scamming robots from the platform.

"Elon has the script ... we had a good conversation about how 
In this sense, if the two founders manage to join forces, present the project and get a nod from the Twitter directive, the crypto-haters of this social network could be a topic of tomorrow. A news that could greatly benefit the cryptocurrency market that lives on Twitter.
A BIG PROBLEM
It is not a secret that scammers are an increasingly well-known reality in the social network , becoming a problem for the managers of the platform, users and security agencies at an international level. For example, it is estimated that there are some 15,000 robots on Twitter scamming unsuspecting users who deliver their cryptocurrency savings without verifying the authenticity of the publications or the identity of the personalities.
The proliferation of these swindling robots has even affected the figure of the Pope, who has also sufferedan impersonation of his identity. In this way, and making the problem increasingly difficult to manage, the Twitter board has announced that it is studying to use blockchain in its services to avoid this type of situation, an implementation that could take a long time.
Elon Musk has been one of the personalities most affected by these scammers. Last February, a crypto-stalker managed to steal ethers from a group of unsuspecting users by posing as Musk, a situation that is nowadays regular, as the CEO of Tesla Motor has become a popular target for this type of phishing, a situation which has motivated the employer to take action on the matter.
In this sense, this scammer neutralizer would become the first blockchain-related project in which Musk is actively involved. However, it is not the first technological solution designed to eradicate this problem, since the applications are in the market MetaCert Protocol Cryptonite and Scam Clerk, which are in charge of identifying this type of cybernetic fraud.
