It came just hours after Musk came across it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This sure looks like a scam crypto account. If so, it will be suspended,&#8221; Musk said in a comment directed at the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter users tagged @ExplainThisBob under all kinds of tweets, which prompted the bot to reply with an explanation of the original tweet. But it was also linked to a cryptocurrency token called $BOB, which plummeted more than 27% after the suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bob is not a scam, but a decentralized memecoin with 0 tax, and no contract ownership,&#8221; Bob replied to Musk&#8217;s tweet. &#8220;Bob is inspired by Doge, and for the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk also replied to the account in April, writing: &#8220;I love Bob.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar but smaller account, @AskTheWassie, was also suspended after being noticed by Musk. &#8220;Promotion of scams under the guise of being a funny\/helpful bot will result in suspension.
