Tech tycoon Musk once again intervenes in public education in a unique way, posting a humorous image combined with elements of ancient Greek mythology on the social media platform X, with the caption "When a beautiful woman initiates a chat about cryptocurrency, please block her immediately — Poseidon, the god of the sea." This warning conveyed through Poseidon is actually a reminder for users to be cautious of crypto phishing scams implemented under the guise of romance.
Such scams often build trust by fabricating beautiful identities, luring victims into participating in fake crypto investments. Musk chooses to convey serious safety warnings using symbols from internet pop culture, which aligns with his usual high-profile communication style and cleverly utilizes internet dissemination patterns to amplify the warning effect. The accompanying image features Poseidon, the god of the sea, holding a trident, symbolizing that online scams are as dangerous as deep sea currents and require heightened vigilance.
