WASHINGTON, D.C. – Eccentric billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, known as the world’s richest man, faced yesterday his biggest financial dilemma yet: whether he could justify buying a dozen eggs.
Witnesses at a local Whole Foods were left in shock after spotting Elon Musk standing frozen in disbelief in front of the egg section, staring at the $10.99 price tag like it was a failed SpaceX launch. with the same intensity he reserves for SpaceX launch sequences.
Witnesses say the world’s richest man whispered, “This can’t be real,” before pulling out his phone to check live stock prices – possibly calculating if a Tesla stock dip would impact his ability to afford breakfast.
“At this point, it’s cheaper to buy a chicken and wait,” he allegedly muttered, adjusting his sunglasses.
After a long pause, Musk allegedly picked up a single egg, examined it, and sighed. “I could send this to Mars, but I can’t afford to scramble it,” he lamented before placing the carton back. On his way out, he tweeted, “Considering an egg subscription service. Pay monthly, get yolked. #Eggconomy.”
