Why isn't his account archive?
They probably fired the people responsible for doing that
It's musk running the scam.

Lol, isn't "cryptocurrency scam" a little repetitive?
It's like Chai Tea
To be fair, it makes sense for chai tea to be made explicit from unspiced black tea while still letting people unfamiliar with it know that it's tea. Cryptocurrency not so much.
Nope, most crypto use is legit. ~1% is illegal and such. Throwing the baby out with the bath water.
It's a ponze scheme. It always was. It may have found a niche, unregulated market, but that doesn't make it any less of a ponze scheme
The fact that people are still saying things like this about crypto—even after ETF approval—is proof that it's still early. By the time the average person realizes what's been going on with Bitcoin, it'll be too late for you.
I've already tripled my initial investment from a year ago, and we're just only getting started.
I can't tell whether you're a real crypto person or not. Real crypto people don't believe in ETFs because you're not holding your own keys. So it sounds like you are just in it to make more fiat, which is bullshit. But I could be wrong about you.
Just so you know, one of the most common tactics in a scam is to convince the target that they must "act fast or the opportunity will be over!"
Crypto being used for scams? Say it ain't so!
Crypto IS the scam.
Nope, ~1% if crypto is illegal use. The other 99% is perfectly above board. Cryptocurrency IS currency and so will be used for illegal activity just like every other currency
Sure, not like 72 billion has been used in scams or anything.
"Overall, the share of all cryptocurrency activity associated with illicit activity has risen for the first time since 2019, from 0.12% in 2021 to 0.24% in 2022. [2]"

Biggest scams are done in USD. The big part of not falling for a scam is doing your due diligence and people are adults and should be treated as such.
Biggest scams are done in USD.
That's because USD is widely used.
Crypto isn't widely used and it still has scams worth millions. Cryptwats are 🤡🤡🤡
Weird that they wouldn't either delete the account or memorialize it thereby removing the ability to log in or create posts.
But hey! It's Twitter, the worst managed social media platform on the internet!
Every celebrity/rich has a foundation. And they make you believe that they do it to help the poor.
He had a foundation for helping people with addiction issues. By all accounts he was very committed and proud and it helped a lot of people but you continue making generalisations and insensitive suggestions.
