Pranksters fooled some media members into thinking they'd been laid off by Elon Musk soon after his Twitter takeover. In reality,Puri for Rent (2025) they were making reference to a common internet joke involving testicles. Yeah. Not great.

A few different media members and media outlets posted about Twitter employees leaving the company's HQ, boxes of personal belongings in hand. One of the more prominent posts came from CNBC's Deirdre Bosa, who posted that an "entire team of data engineers" had been let go.

Folks soon followed up to Bosa and others noting that one of the pranksters had told reporters their name was "Rahul Ligma." For those not terminally online, that's a joke about, well, there's no delicate way to put this...balls. Because Ligma sounds like lick myand then...you can guess where the joke typically goes.

Yeah, so, it was questionable, at best. To be fair to the media outlets, it's a pretty strange thing to fake, especially considering Musk didlay off top executives after taking over Twitter. It also came out that he floated the idea of firing 75 percent of Twitter employees.

Musk, famous for a juvenile sense of humor and distrust of the media, of course commented on the Ligma hoax soon after it broke. "Ligma Johnson had it coming," he joked.

The real mass layoffs might still come. But for now, at least the fake ones seemed to make Twitter's new owner laugh.
