Elon Musk applauds 'one of the best trolls' of the media ever

Elon Musk did some cleaning house in Twitter’s C-suite Friday, but the media was also on the lookout for the little guy. As Twitchy reported, one CNBC reporter managed to catch two Twitter engineers who’d been tossed, both holding their personal belongings in cardboard boxes.

Some seemed amused that one of the engineers was named Rahul Ligma. As in Mr. Ligma. Mr. Ligma Balls.

We don’t know if this tweet was deleted or if it’s fake, but it’s possible Taylor Lorenz reached out to Mr. Ligma.

We’re guessing it’s fake, but it’s still funny.

I'm waiting for the reaction from Ben Dover, Mick Oxlong and Dixie Normus.

If that tweet by Taylor Lorenz is fake, here’s a fake one in black:
