Elon Musk, who is famous for his sense of humour and distrust of the media, also came out with a witty reaction to the whole prankster episode.
Hours after Elon Musk took total ownership of Twitter, videos of supposed laid-off employees carrying boxes outside Twitter's San Francisco headquarters circulated on social media.

Mr Musk acquired Twitter on Thursday and since then rumours regarding the layoffs of the old employees have been swirling on the internet. So when two men carrying cardboard boxes stood outside of the Twitter office, it seemed like they were part of a lay-off.
In one of the videos, a man claiming to be an ex-Twitter employee spoke to news outlets about being laid off. However, he said that he had to leave the interview to "touch base with my husband and wife".
