This explanation was received with some skepticism online -- to say the least. "Ok I saw the bad tweet and regret to inform you that 'hacked' does not mean 'confused the tweet box for the search box,'" one person responded, following up with several laughing emojis and a skull, suggesting the tweeter had died of laughter. In a statement Monday, SOCCENT spokesman Maj. Tony Hoefler said the prevailing theory on social media is exactly what happened. "U.S. Special Operations Command Central acknowledges a misleading post to our official Twitter account on April 24, 2021," Hoefler said. "After review, it was determined our Twitter account was not hacked, and a social media administrator inadvertently tweeted the words while conducting a search for current topical events."
