I am excited to have just received a personal message from Elon Musk himself 😲

Has anyone else been the lucky recipient of a message from him?

Here's what he said:

Hello there I'm Elon musk, I have to admit, I'm really amazed' your comment is spot on, but more than that, I'm genuinely impressed. It's not every day someone with your reach takes a moment just to be real while you're here reading comments. Since we're just humans here, I'm happy to chat. What would you like to know?"
Kindly improve the message

What shall I do - respond and become pen pals or delete and report to GNHQ? 🤔

Do you even have to ask? 😂

I have had messages from Paul McCartney and Bryan Ferry. 😉

Even in the unlikely event that it's from Elon Musk I would run for the hills. He's nasty man and you are far too nice to be associated with him.

I'm hoping to get one from Chris Martin.

I have had a message (not on here) from a very handsome (from his profile pic) Arthur King. Apart from laughing my head off at the name, I was quite impressed with his knowledge of art and classical music.

Sometimes the fraudsters are too dumb for their own good!

I can do better than that!
I too received an email from Elon himself, but mine informed me that I had won one million dollars in a random draw!

I’m still waiting so I thought about trying to contact his chum, Donald Trump via his Truth Social account to ask if he would give me Elon’s mobile phone number!

That is so unfair!!

I'm going to have a tantrum. 🤯

😲

Not even the offer of a new car or a trip to Space.
Where am I going wrong?

I tell you what, Allira when my one million dollars arrives, I’ll give you some of it towards your new car 🚗!!

M0nica Wed 22-Apr-26 18:44:25

No-one famous ever emails me! What am I doing wrong?

Ooh, you are lovely!!

I hope it arrives soon.

Allira 🤞 🙂!

I'm with you, M0nica - no contact from Elon, no wins in draws: how disappointing. Even my Nigerian prince,
who was, of course , going to give me some of his money locked up in a British account, seems to have deserted me.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 A few sense of humour failings on here, clearly the OP is well aware that this is NOT Elon Musk!

All I’ve had recently is a random wanting to chat because I’ve got a cool vibe going on. Which is of course true. He’s obviously read my sick comments on the Corrie thread.

AGAA4 Thu 23-Apr-26 08:50:28

I've had a prince with several gold mines who wanted to make me rich and some random man who just wanted to get to know me.
I'm a cynical soul and believe nothing without proof.

I regularly get follow requests and private messages on Instagram claiming to be from Prince William, Keanu Reeves, Elton Moosk, or whatever the idiot's stupid name is, and a whole load of other fake profiles!

I delete, block and report!

Cossy what do you mean? 😲
Of course it was Elon, he said so!!

Surely it wasn't one of those scam things we hear about?
Oh, you just burst my bubble 😥

Allira Thu 23-Apr-26 10:53:10

Ps I think everyone got it! 😂

Knittypamela Thu 23-Apr-26 13:59:56

I've had messages from Paul Hollywood!

Is he going to bake you a cake? 🎂

OF course it's a scam. You only need to read the first 5 words when you read his name, minus a capital letter on the surname!

Astitchintime Thu 23-Apr-26 16:03:04

Well…….I had an email from a prince in Nigeria no less! He claimed to love me deeply and his government wouldn’t let him leave his country, withheld all his considerable wealth and if I sent him some money he could fly to my home and we could be together! Top that! 😂😂😂

Well, I bet he's not as rich as my Elon!!

Still waiting for my new car btw.
