After Elon Musk took on his responsibilities at Twitter headquarters, the platform felt tremors of change. From bringing in new policies to the platform like Twitter Blue to firing a slew of executives at the top, Musk¡¯s takeover changed the company significantly.
Pranksters showed up outside Twitter HQ
Amidst this change were Internet baddies who figured that this would be the perfect time to troll the whole Internet. In came the videos of a certain ¡°Rahul Ligma¡± and ¡°Daniel Johnson,¡± who were apparently laid off from the company. The pranksters pretended to be software engineers outside the company headquarters as reporters flocked over to capture the viral news.
Even after the two pranksters blatantly spelled out their names, the reporters could not catch onto their gag names and put out the story as is on the Internet. Soon after, people flocked over to make the uninitiated understand the prank's hilarious context and end the apparent confusion. The prank became so big that even Musk commented on the ingenious idea and wrote, ¡°One of the best trolls ever.¡±
One of the best trolls ever ??

'Rahul Ligma' is back
Following the Twitter outburst, "Rahul Ligma" is back on the floor. A new video was posted on the platform, which stated, "Former FTX employee, Rahul Ligma, says FTX has just fired an entire team of data engineers at their HQ in the Bahamas." Staying on the same lines, this video captures the man on a beach with his cardboard box in hand as he mutters a bunch of random statements. He talks of Bill and Hillary Clinton, his wife and husband, and getting fired from Twitter.

Why did FTX need a team of data engineers? Unless they were doing some shady financial engineering.
