Elon Musk Pledges to Quit Omelette for a Week After SpaceX Destroys Bird Nests
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of SpaceX, has pledged to give up omelettes for a week as a way to make amends for what he called a “heinous crime.” This decision comes after a leading newspaper in the US published an article highlighting the environmental impact of a recent SpaceX launch, which resulted in the destruction of nine bird nests.
The article, titled ‘At SpaceX, Wildlife Safety Takes Back Seat to Launch,’ was featured on the front page of The New York Times, sparking outrage among environmentalists and animal rights activists. Mike Pesca, a podcast host, shared a picture of the front page on Twitter, pointing out that the destruction of the bird nests was deemed the most important story of the day.
In response to the backlash, Elon Musk took to social media to announce his decision to abstain from eating omelettes for a week. The SpaceX founder acknowledged the impact of the launch on the bird population and expressed his commitment to making amends for the damage caused.
SpaceX has been at the forefront of space exploration in recent years, with the company making significant advancements in developing reusable starships. Despite the success of its missions, the recent incident has brought attention to the environmental consequences of space exploration and the need for greater consideration of wildlife safety in future launches.
