Elon Musk has once again called attention to the proliferation of cryptocurrency giveaway scams.
The centibillionaire jokingly asked Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus if the latter would send him 1 DOGE coin after receiving 2 DOGE coins from Musk.
If I send you 2 Doge, will you promise to send me 1 Doge?
