Rahul Ligma Meme Explained
Let us explain what occurred if you’ve seen too many jokes and memes about Rahul Ligma on Twitter and are having trouble understanding them.
According to TMZ, two individuals acting as recently laid-off Twitter workers were reportedly questioned by a few media agencies, who not only failed to confirm their employee information but also began to believe various pop culture and meme allusions they made.
Rahul is a common male name in India, whereas “Ligma” is a made-up illness and online scam that allegedly claimed Fortnite streamer Ninja’s life. Ligma also alludes to an online slang term.
But when the reporters broadcast their interviews, they had no idea that the pranksters had tricked them.
While addressing the media, the man who identified himself as Rahul Ligma was holding “Becoming,” the autobiography of Michelle Obama. According to TMZ, he said that Michelle Obama would not have existed if Elon Musk owned Twitter.
The two also mentioned Britney Spears when expressing concern for democracy’s future and “celebrity conservatorship.”
How Elon Musk Reacted To It?
Elon is also enjoying himself in this situation, referring to the Rahul Ligma meme as “one of the best trolls ever.” He re-shared a Tweet that included a photo of the person identifying himself as Rahul Ligma and the statement, “Ace reporting by @cnbc.”
He captioned a screenshot from a published post earlier today with the phrase “Ligma Johnson had it coming” and claimed that he had supposedly sacked a whole staff of Twitter data engineers.
In the picture, two pranksters carrying cardboard boxes are seen leaving the Twitter headquarters while posing as fired employees.
