For any employee, the last day at work is the day they write history, or as we like to call it, a farewell email, which will henceforth be the legacy they leave behind.

But this now former Twitter employee’s last act on the job just turned them into an Internet hero.

Yesterday, for approximately 11 minutes, the Twitterverse could not find @realDonaldTrump‘s Twitter account. The reason? It was apparently deactivated!

Twitter Government, the social media channel’s official administrative account, issued the following statement, citing the cliché ‘human error’ as the reason for this lapse.

A little before 7 pm (US time zone), media channels were in a flurry over news that the POTUS’ personal account unavailable.

A search for the same on Twitter displayed the message “User does not exist”.

However, two hours after their first statement, @TwitterGov was back with a more detailed explanation—it was a former Customer Support employee who had pulled off this feat on their last day of work!

The chief concern that most skeptics echoed was how a customer support employee had the requisite clearance to delete a verified official account which has over 41 million followers.

As for the Twitterverse, once they were assured that President Trump’s account was up and running and their source of all tweets Covfefe was indeed safe, they gave a roaring applause to the Twitter employee’s daredevil stunt!

1. There was quite a lot of insight into what said employee’s last moments at work would’ve been like.

TBH, exit interviews do tend to suck!
