Vincent Flibustier’s Viral Satire
Amid the chaos, satirical writer Vincent Flibustier seized the moment to post a prank on social media. Flibustier, known for running the Belgian parody news site Nordpresse, posed as a new CrowdStrike employee on X (formerly Twitter). He tweeted, "First day at CrowdStrike, pushed a little update and taking the afternoon off," accompanied by an AI-generated photo of himself outside the CrowdStrike office. The tweet went viral, amassing nearly 400,000 likes and 36,000 shares within minutes.
