SpaceXAI and Starlink X accounts hijacked in Robinhood Chain meme coin scam
A hacker hijacked the SpaceXAI and Starlink X accounts to promote a Robinhood Chain meme coin that hit $2M before collapsing
The X accounts of SpaceXAI and Starlink were briefly hacked on Sunday to promote Scam Altman (SCATMAN), a Robinhood Chain-based meme coin that rapidly gained attention before crashing in an apparent rug pull.

Fueled by posts from hijacked accounts, SCATMAN’s market capitalization exceeded $32 million before slipping to about $31 million at press time, per GeckoTerminal. The token recorded approximately $5.7 million in 24-hour trading volume.
After compromising those accounts, the attacker minted 10 trillion SCATMAN tokens and sold them across two wallets for a total of about 73.7 ETH, netting roughly $125,000, according to Lookonchain.
