There are so many harmful links there. Elon said that he will fix this but I see it rising.

Probably not.

If you can find out the scammer's home country, you may have a shot.

First thing is to file a police report. The police will request account info from Twitter to find out where the scammer is. If it's a local scammer (unlikely) they can get arrested. Else, if international, you could try suing Twitter but unlikely to work (unless you spend $$$$ in lawyers).

The bot / scam situation got much worse in recent times. Whatever Elon did since he took over is definitely not working.

A link generally is not harmful (sql injection is rly rare, so are drive by injections), accepting some sort of malicious contract is harmful. There is a guy selling a forum 0day for $15k USD, that is one that requires you to click nothing - I'd be more worried about that.

Just an example "You don't sue the President of a country, if you get robbed by some random thief on your way to home."

And Twitter most likely don't even know where the scammer is from. Unless he's an absolute idiot, which is rarely the case.

This will depend on the jurisprudence of your country

It's hard to blame Twitter for individual users falling for scams. Just take extra care and don't click on suspicious links.

Dunno how but feds always find the culprits. Really can't hide in today's world. If they really want to, they'll find anyone.

I think it's in the Twitter agreement, otherwise it would be weird

 

[Entys]

NO, offcourse not. Twitter its not responsable because you belive some link or some words from nobody with a nice profile picture.

 

[SpaceTwitter]

No, it won't work, read the twitter agreement

 

[MoonStarz]

I don't think so, read the Tos usually they cover their backs there so no one can sue them easily.
