Jimmy Fallon Asks Twitter's New Boss For Help; Musk Responds With Banter
Jimmy Fallon asked for help from Twitter's new boss, Elon Musk on Wednesday for an issue he was facing on the microblogging site. #RIPJimmyFallon was trending on the site Tuesday as trolls seemed to have a good time pranking the talk show host.
"Elon, can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon" Fallon tweeted.
Musk was quick to respond to "The Tonight Show" host in a witty manner. "Fix what?" he tweeted.
After a few hours, he replied again, "Sounds like a job for @CommunityNotes!"
Musk went on to share another response, "Wait a second, how do we know you're not an alien body snatcher pretending to be Jimmy!? Say something that only the real Jimmy would say..."
Fallon has not yet responded to Musk's banter.
The 48-year-old host isn't the only one who asked for Musk's help on Twitter after he took over the company in October. Singer Doja Cat changed her name to "Christmas" last week as a joke but when she tried to change it back, she couldn't.
As a result, Cat tweeted on Nov. 10, "I don't wanna be christmas forever @elonmusk please help i've made a mistake." Later that day, Musk responded, "Working on it!"
Within a few minutes, the Tesla owner once again responded to Cat's tweet, "Pretty funny though" with laughing emojis.
Since Musk took over Twitter, it has changed how celebrities look at social media. Celebs like Whoopi Goldberg and Shonda Rhimes left Twitter earlier this month. Singer Toni Braxton also criticized "free speech" since Musk's acquisition.
"I'm shocked and appalled at some of the 'free speech' I've seen on this platform since its acquisition," she tweeted on Oct. 29. "Hate speech under the veil of 'free speech' is unacceptable; therefore I am choosing to stay off Twitter as it is no longer a safe space for myself, my sons and other POC."
After Musk took over Twitter at the end of October, he announced that anyone who wants the verified blue tick on their Twitter profile has to pay $8 per month. In case you've missed it, read the complete subscription plan details over here.
