Benzinga - A trader reportedly transformed $300 into a staggering $1.03 million within just ten days.

What Happened: This financial feat was connected to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) shenanigans, where his profile change hinted at investment opportunities for the savvy trader.

According to Lookonchain, a blockchain analysis platform, the trader withdrew 4.313 Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) (equivalent to $10,113) from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance as soon as they noticed Elon Musk had updated his X bio to “(CTO) Chief Troll Officer.”

The trader used this amount to purchase 19.37 trillion TROLL (CRYPTO: TROLL) tokens, and then sold 9.37 trillion TROLL tokens for 5.318 Ethereum (around $12,467), while still retaining 10 trillion TROLL tokens, now valued at $1.03 million.
