Elon Musk’s old Instagram handle up for auction, bids currently at $6K

The Instagram handle using Elon Musk’s name is being sold off in a Telegram account trading group for thousands of dollars, leading to fears that it could be used to promote a sketchy memecoin.  X user @henn100x first noticed the @elonmusk account sale yesterday and warned users not to “fall for any larp coins the next owner of the account might endorse.” Telegram users are currently bidding for the account in the “Tekk” username selling group. The highest bidder offered $6,000 to buy the account on Friday. The Instagram handle has changed its username eight times and currently has the name “Tekk” in its bio.
