Twitter recently tried to fix it by locking nonverified accounts which change their name to Elon Musk (https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/24/17610348/twitter-elon-mus...). Now scammers just hack verified accounts to do it.

Are these kind of tweets even legal?

I wonder the same, Musk has done this before, by claiming Tesla has filed bankruptcy, last April 1st. Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-01/elon-musk...

This has to violate some SEC rule.

Michael Dell actual did buy Dell, and got in major legal trouble for it. It's an amazing story. HN discovered it.

Some verified account pretending to be Elon posted spam in the thread. How is that allowed?

It's been that way for months: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/scammers-are-im... Twitter recently tried to fix it by locking nonverified accounts which change their name to Elon Musk ( https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/24/17610348/twitter-elon-mus... ). Now scammers just hack verified accounts to do it.

Is Musk the only celebrity this happens to?
