New Delhi: World’s richest person and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently pulled out of the illustrious $44 billion Twitter deal, saying that the platform hasn’t provided him with enough details regarding the fake handles on the microblogging site. In return the popular social media site seems to tackle the shot by suspending Musk’s Twitter handle. Though, there’s a catch.
A misleading yet viral tweet is doing rounds on the internet suggests that Twitter has suspended the account of Tesla man after he withdrew from the previously mentioned deal.
A user named Surya tweeted, “they suspended @eIonmusk fr??”

And when users tried to click on the given account, it took them to a page which has been suspended by the blue bird.
Then what’s the catch? The spelling of the suspended handle includes an I instead of an l. As most of the SM users were unable to notice it, Internet fell for the prank and the Tweet went viral in minutes.
