A threatening video by ‘Anonymous' - an international hacking collective - targeting Elon Musk, has garnered more than a 20 lakh views within a couple of days of being posted. “You may think you are the smartest person in the world, but now you have met your match. We are anonymous, we are legion”, were the concluding remarks of the narrator. The reason? The internet-based team of the group said that they planned to target the Tesla and SpaceX CEO for influencing the cryptocurrency market far too often and easily through his tweets.
Soon after the video was released, people on the internet, especially on Twitter, wondered if this message for Musk (watch video) was really from the infamous group.
@YourAnonNews, one of the biggest accounts of Anonymous, denied releasing the video and instead directed users to @BscAnon, another anonymous account with nearly 15,000 followers.
“While we offer our many new #Crypto and #Bitcoin followers all the best in their ongoing spat with @ElonMusk, we believe the account you seek is @BscAnon. (who is not @YourAnonNews)," @YourAnonNews tweeted.
