No he shouldn't. He should just do nothing. Let Twitter die already. Also those are all so obviously AI generated images lol
I'm sorry, I can't agree that nothing should be done. I would love Twitter to die, but these scams are actively hurting people. They are criminals and must be stopped and Twitter is doing nothing about it, even when Elon himself is used as bait.
The biggest scammer of them all runs Twitter, so don't get your hopes up too high.
I'm not hopeful at all. If anything, it will get worse.

You and I wind up subsidizing these scams, as victims can fall into the social safety net.
