CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk got his twitter account locked after tweeting about bitcoin and Japanese anime cartoon. Elon has more than 23 million followers on Twitter. After getting back, he tweeted that Twitter thought that he got hacked and locked his account.
Twitter’s representative has not commented on the reason behind locking his account and this is completely normal for not commenting on individual accounts.

He has still not deleted the tweet about bitcoin where he said “wanna buy some bitcoin?”. Twitter might have flagged him as fake Elon Musk due to variations of scams on twitter where many have tried to impersonate him.

Musk even reached out to Jackson Palmer, who is the creator of Dogecoin to get rid of twitter scammers.
