'Twitter Fired' Prankster Takes a Photo with Elon Musk, Musk Says 'Firing Me Was the Biggest Mistake'



On the same day that Elon Musk acquired Twitter, two pranksters appeared in front of Twitter's headquarters

and gave interviews to various media outlets as 'fired Twitter employees.' They then posed for a photo with Elon Musk. Musk posted on his Twitter account that 'getting fired was the biggest mistake I've ever made.'




The two men who posed for photos with Musk appeared in front of Twitter's headquarters on the day of Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter on October 28, 2022, and were interviewed by various media outlets as 'fired employees.' The two men, who called themselves 'Rahul Ligma' and 'Daniel Johnson,' appeared in front of Twitter's headquarters carrying 'cardboard boxes full of luggage,' leading to major media outlets such as Reuters and CNBC reporting them as 'real former employees.'

As mentioned above, immediately after the two appeared in front of the camera, many people believed that they were 'real former employees,' but it became clear that it was a prank because the receptionist at Twitter headquarters said, 'I've never seen two people like that,' and the names of the pranksters 'Ligma' and 'Johnson' are thought to be derived from the internet memes and slang 'Ligma (Lick my balls)' and 'Johnson (male genitalia).'

On November 16, 2022, a photo of the two pranksters and Musk with their arms around each other was posted to Musk's Twitter account. Musk appears in a good mood in the photo and tweeted, 'Welcome back! Ligma and Johnson!'



Musk also joked, 'It's important to admit mistakes. Firing them was my biggest mistake.'




Musk has actually carried out a large-scale layoff of Twitter employees, including mass layoffs in countries around the world, including Japan , and has fired about 4,400 contract employees . On the other hand, it has been revealed that several of the fired employees were 'mistakenly fired,' and it has been reported that the company is calling on employees who were once fired to return to work.
