00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:02.580
- [Narrator] Jimmy Fallon
is one of the latest people

2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:05.460
to fall victim to the now rampant
misinformation on Twitter.

3
00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:08.250
The hashtag #RIPJimmyFallon began trending

4
00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:09.360
on the social media site,

5
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.890
with users posting the hashtag

6
00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:12.450
with pictures of other celebrities.

7
00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:15.660
Mr. Fallon, of course, is not
stoked about the death hoax.

8
00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:18.510
Fallon turned to none other
than Twitter's new overlord,

9
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:20.310
and generally weird looking dude,

10
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:22.020
Elon Musk himself for help.

11
00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:23.947
The late night host tweeted Elon,

12
00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:27.043
"Can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon."

13
00:00:27.043 --> 00:00:27.876
The following morning,

14
00:00:27.876 --> 00:00:30.330
the most off-putting man in
the world responded to Fallon,

15
00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:31.860
Tweeting, "Fix What?"

16
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:32.850
A few hours later,

17
00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:34.860
Musk replied again this time showcasing

18
00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:37.140
his, um, sense of humor,

19
00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:38.730
by tweeting, "Wait a second.

20
00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:40.770
How do we know that you're
not an alien body snatcher

21
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:41.790
pretending to be Jimmy?

22
00:00:41.790 --> 00:00:44.160
Say something that only
the real Jimmy would say."

23
00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.530
Musk then pointed Fallon to
the Community Notes team,

24
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:48.270
before returning to his normal routine

25
00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:50.280
of making terrible business decisions.

26
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.830
Twitter has been bombarded
with trolls and misinformation

27
00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:54.180
since Musk purchase the site,

28
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:56.130
and promptly turned it
into a dumpster fire

29
00:00:56.130 --> 00:00:58.830
after implementing a
verification check payment plan.

30
00:00:58.830 --> 00:01:02.190
Suffice it to say, that Jimmy
is still very much alive,

31
00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:04.680
and the hoax will go down
as just the latest chapter

32
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.180
in the history of Twitter's
magnificent implosion.
