Bloodshot-Eyed, Grinning Elon Musk Says 4/20 Was Awesome And Also Has Anyone Seen His Rocket
Babylon Bee ^ | 4/20/26

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TX — SpaceX team members were left confused and awkwardly unsure about how to respond when founder Elon Musk emerged from a darkened room on 4/21 with bloodshot eyes and a relaxed smile while asking if anyone had seen his Starship rocket.

The Starship launch had taken place, as scheduled, on 4/20, resulting in a successful liftoff before the rocket exploded in what SpaceX called a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." Though it was still considered a successful test, team members were uncertain about how to break the news of the spacecraft's destruction to Musk, who had been enjoying other 4/20 festivities. "We thought he was there to observe the launch," said engineer John Insprucker, "but he disappeared into another room. I didn't see him again until this morning. He seemed really chill, though. Just red-eyed and really hungry for some reason."

Musk's detractors were quick to celebrate the Starship's destruction, but the billionaire entrepreneur maintained a very laid-back demeanor. "It's cool, man," Musk answered when asked for comment about his critics. "Trial and error is part of success. I just wish I knew where my rocket went. It's 390 feet tall, so it's difficult to misplace. Does anyone here have any Cheetos, by any chance?"

When I did a gig at Intel I was acquainted with a real genius engineer.

He told me: No matter what Elon Musk does, buy that stock.

He may, or may not have been full of shit.
