Somebody at Yahoo definitely just lost their job.
The Yahoo Finance official Twitter account tweeted a link about Donald Trump enlarging the US Navy, but boy did they make one massive mistake.
Instead of writing the phrase “bigger navy”, somebody had accidentally tweeted the N-word instead of “bigger”, sparking some serious outrage on the socials.
While it was likely a mistake, it hasn’t stopped a large number of people coming out in anger against the tweet. It gained over 1000 retweets in the hour it remained online.
Yahoo have since tweeted an apology saying that the offensive tweet’s “spelling error” was down to a “mistake”.
