Maybe I am missing something or am just naive, but isn't it fairly common for social media accounts of well-known figures to be taken over (hacked/phished/whatever) for the purpose of shilling some crypto scam? Launching a memecoin and then very quickly (30 min later, apparently) rugpulling seems like it would at least as likely fit that type of scam as it would being one where the public figure themselves is actually behind the scam.
Not making a claim as to what is actually true, just positing explanations. Heck, maybe plot twist: it is actually Eric Adams behind it, but the "account takeover" possibility was planned to serve as plausible deniability.
You know... like "an actor that's playing a dude, disguised as another dude" type thing.
