CNBC anchor Deirdre Bosa has apologized for getting duped by people claiming to be laid-off Twitter employees.

Bosa was outside Twitter headquarters in San Francisco on Friday, the day after Elon Musk finalized his $44 billion acquisition of the social media company.

“I want to address something CNBC reported on Friday. I tweeted that a team of data engineers were laid off at Twitter after speaking to two people outside headquarters who claimed that they were,” she said on Monday. “They were not real employees and I didn’t do enough to confirm who they were. They got me and that is on me. We, I, regret the mistake.”
