I am used to spotting cryptocurrency scams. The tweet I saw was from his official account, days before the "Wednesday hack".

Elon Musk's account getting hacked or promoting a cryptocurrency scam would have made news immediately, so I think you are mistaken.

I don't think that's been reported anywhere, could you link to an archive or something?

I couldn't find any screenshots, archive.org link, or browser history for the tweet I saw. So, unfortunately I have no evidence that the scam tweets started before Wednesday. We'll see what Twitter finds.

Twitter is not incentivized to find anything and make it public if that makes matters look even worse than they already are.
