Social media accounts for electric vehicle maker Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, were the target of hackers over the weekend.

An individual or group identifying themselves as “RIPPRGANG” changed the Twitter profiles of both Tesla and Musk, before sending tweets offering ‘free Teslas’.

Musk has over two million followers on Twitter while his car company has over half a million. The tweets were removed within an hour and the profiles for both accounts have now returned to ‘normal’.

Neither Tesla nor Musk have left any tweets about the attack, and both accounts have posted tweets more familiar to their followers in the days since.
