Elon Musk and Twitter reached a deal on Thursday.
Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $54.20 per share – or about $44 billion.
Musk immediately fired CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and legal head Vijay Gadde.
On Thursday, CNBC talked to a few gentlemen standing outside of Twitter HQ who claimed they were fired Twitter engineers.
“They are visibly shaken. Daniel tells us he owns a Tesla and doesn’t know how he’s going to make payments.” the CNBC Tech reporter said.
It turns out they were just trolling the media.

“Rahul Ligma,” one of the men trolling the media posing as a Twitter engineer said he owned a Tesla and wasn’t sure how he was going to make payments after getting laid off.
The troll went on to say how much he supports climate change and Michell Obama.
