It is the second I see today. I am guessing the modus operandi is that the scammers hack a verified account, change the name to Elon Musk and promote a tweet saying it is giving away 10,000 bitcoins.
From what I see in some replies, they ask the victim to give then 0.5 bitcoin promising to give 5 btc back.
They use some other hacked verified accounts (with name unchanged), to reply the tweet stating that it worked for them

Seven hours ago several Musk/Tesla related photos got posted which would be unusual for a fashion brand and doesn't fit their other tweets.
