In rearmost take on the row over mass layoffs in Twitter since he took over the social media platform, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday that he has rehired two workers who were “ laid off ” last month.
He participated a picture with the two men and twittered, “ Drinking back Ligma & Johnson! ”Important to admit when I ’m wrong & firing them was truly one of my biggest miscalculations, ” his tweet further read.
Important to admit when I’m wrong & firing them was truly one of my biggest mistakes

But there’s a catch in this entire occasion.The two men were noway actually the workers of Twitter.Last month, the brace’s filmland went viral on social media after they were pictured outside the main entrance of Twitter’s San Francisco structure, claiming to have been “ laid off ” by Musk. They were pictured holding cardboard boxes and were allowedto have been part of the data masterminds’ platoon who were let go.
They introduced themselves as ‘ Rahul Ligma ’ and ‘ Daniel Johnson ’, with the former being a reference to a popular internet meme. ‘ Ligma ’ held a dupe of former US First Lady Michelle Obama’s book ‘ getting ’ while speaking to journalists.
They had tricked several media outlets as reports of Musk axing staffers began to make rounds.Musk, still, sounded to have got the knavery as he twittered a rather facetious response to the sacking of ‘ Ligma ’ and ‘ Johnson ’. “ Ligma Johnson had it coming, ” the world’s richest man wrote in the post with two filmland of the brace standing outdoors Twitter’s office and holding the carboard boxes.

Musk’s rearmost tweet can be supposed as a way of firing back at the Twitter pixies or individualities who have been criticising his decision to fire several workers since getting the new proprietor of the micro blogging point.
This comes a day after the new proprietor of Twitter fired an hand via a tweet after he said Musk’s post on the social media platform being “ super slow ” on Android bias was “ wrong ”. The Twitter thread between the hand, who claimed to have been with Twitter for over five times, and Musk snappily gained brume on the platform. Several druggies called the hand out for taking out his particular dissatisfaction against his master on a public platform, and to one similar tweet, Musk replied, “ He is fired ”.
