I could imagine a faked tweet attributed to Trump that could immediately begin mobilization in other countries to prepare for war. There are several fake tweets from the Bezon/Musk I could imagine that could credibly send the stock price of AMZN down by 10%, TSLA down by 50% in a matter of minutes.

Attacker(s) could profit immensely if they had leveraged short positions cleverly placed.

Users losing a few hundred thousand is getting off light considering the severity of this attack and how much worse it could have been.
