Tech titan Elon Musk has pledged a surprising penance for his latest SpaceX launch. Apparently, the launch, while successful, wasn’t exactly avian-friendly, as The New York Times reported the destruction of nine bird nests.
Poking fun at the publication, Musk vowed not to have omelettes for a week, to “make up” for unwittingly cracking a few eggs.
It began when Mike Pesca, who hosts podcasts, shared a picture of the front page of The New York Times in a post on X and questioned its editorial choices. Apparently, the daily deemed the bird nest incident more newsworthy than political fireworks over US President Joe Biden’s candidacy and a stunning upset in the French election.
“If you aren’t familiar with the grammar of the Times front page layout here it is: The top right story is the lead story, the top left story is the sub-lead everything else above the fold is the important news of the day. Today The New York Times says the second most important story is mounting pressure from senior congressional Dems to push Biden out of the race,” Mike said.
“The 3rd most important story is a shocking French election results upending all expectations. The MOST important story is Elon Musk’s successful space launch destroying nine bird nests,” he added.
Resharing the viral post, Elon Musk added, “To make up for this heinous crime, I will refrain from having omelette for a week.”
