To combat cryptocurrency scammers, Twitter is locking accounts that change their display name to Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. However, the account can be unlocked by passing a CAPTCHA test, and providing a phone number to verify identity, following which the name can be used. Twitter has not revealed if similar measures are employed for other public figures' accounts.
