The wealthy CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, has been at the heart of a contentious debate, but not because of his political appointments or creative business endeavors. This time, it concerns his unconventional French fry consumption. Social media is going crazy about a recent image of Musk dining with Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Trump Jr. on a private jet.
Musk is shown in the photo eating McDonald’s fries, but his method of applying ketchup has drawn criticism. Musk pours the ketchup straight onto the fries in the jar rather than dipping each one into it. Online users have responded to this unusual approach with a mixture of laughter and condemnation ¹.
While some have mockingly called Musk’s actions “psycho” and “diabolical,” others have commended his unorthodox way of thinking. “Elon is always thinking outside the box, even if the box is a fry box,” remarked one user. ¹.
Musk has been subjected to mockery despite having a net worth assessed by Forbes at $315.7 billion. His mysterious character has been influenced by his tendency to push limits and disobey the law ¹.
Musk’s recent appointment as the director of the Department of Government Efficiency, a role charged with reducing rules and bureaucracy, has been overshadowed by the controversy surrounding his French fry eating habits. Interest has also been raised by the department’s abbreviation, DOGE, which is linked to Bitcoin ¹ and a well-known meme.
