People are pretending to be laid-off Twitter employees carrying boxes outside of HQ

Two men claim to have been laid off by Musk and are standing near the entrance of the San Francisco building.

There are a lot of issues with what these two men say. One man identifies himself as a software engineer, and it's glaring. The name is not found in the email system. There is no proof that the employee is on the professional networking site.

The internet hoax known as "Ligma" is designed to get people to respond to a joke by "liking my balls" CNBC ran a story on Friday saying that laid off employees were leaving the building with boxes.

Musk has said that he will lay off employees after firing many executives. Ligma is not a part of that group. The person who answered the request for comment didn't say anything.

Ligma and his associate have a lot of ridiculous things to say.

I'm worried about the future of our democracy. When Britney Spears happened? If Musk owned the social networking site, it wouldn't have happened. Obama wouldn't have been able to do it without Musk. I own a electric car. I am a big fan of free speech and clean energy.

Here's a video of the exchange.
