Elon Musk’s Unusual Fry Habit Sparks Online Frenzy
Elon Musk has once again captured the internet’s attention, but this time, it’s not due to his ambitious business ventures or his new governmental role. Instead, a curious detail in a recent photo featuring Donald Trump has set social media abuzz, particularly regarding Musk’s unique approach to eating fries.
The Photo That Started It All
A recently surfaced image from a private jet shows Musk dining alongside Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Donald Trump Jr. While the gathering itself was notable, what truly captivated online audiences was Musk’s unconventional way of eating McDonald’s Belgian fries. Instead of dipping each fry individually into ketchup, Musk poured the tomato sauce directly onto the fries inside the container—a move that quickly became a hot topic of debate.
Social Media Reacts to Musk’s Fry Style
The internet wasted no time in sharing opinions on Musk’s ketchup application. One amused user remarked, “Elon just squirting ketchup in the box—absolute chaos!” Another joked, “This is unhinged behavior—what’s next, eating fries with a spoon?” For a man known for challenging conventions, even a simple dining habit has proven to be a conversation starter.
Musk: A Constant Headline-Maker
At 53 years old, with a net worth estimated at $315.7 billion by Forbes, Musk is no stranger to making headlines. Whether it’s leading Tesla and SpaceX or heading the newly formed Department of Governmental Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump, he remains a focal point of public discourse. Notably, the department’s abbreviation, “DOGE,” has not gone unnoticed, with many online users humorously linking it to the popular cryptocurrency meme.
Genius or Just Odd? The Ketchup Controversy
Despite his high-stakes ventures, it’s Musk’s fry-eating technique that’s currently stealing the show. Some argue that his method is an example of peak efficiency—befitting of a man tasked with cutting through governmental bureaucracy. Others find it downright strange. As one commenter put it, “This photo proves Elon always thinks outside the box—even when it comes to fries!”
Musk’s Every Move Keeps Fans Talking
A seemingly small detail in a Trump photo has ignited discussions across social media, proving once again that Musk’s eccentricities—whether in business, politics, or even snacking—never fail to engage the public. From space exploration to sauce distribution, Elon Musk continues to surprise and entertain the world in unexpected ways.
Chris Pine transforms from handsome to homeless, fans say he looks ‘raggedy’
Fans were shocked to see Chris Pine switch up his clean-cut look for a shaggy beard and long hair, a huge change for the actor who played the sexy Starfleet captain on Star Trek.
Refined yet rugged, the DC Comics star is giving off Big Lebowski vibes, and fans are saying the 43-year-old heartthrob looks “raggedy” and unrecognizable.

When Chris Pine was 29, he played James T. Kirk in the 2009 Star Trek reboot, the popular sci-fi franchise that gained a whole new following of fans who were excited to see his face on the big screen.
Over the past 15 years, the effortlessly handsome star has maintained a clean-shaven, well-coiffed look, nailing every outfit that drapes his toned body.
But now, the 43-year-old star – the son of Robert Pine who starred as Sgt. Joseph Getraer on CHiPs (1977 to 1983) – seems to be embracing a chic but hippy-ish style with a shaggy beard, salt and pepper hair and killer tan.
Rugged and shabby
Ditching his typical preppy look, Pines experienced a physical transformation so intense that many fans didn’t recognize him.
The rugged and shabby look came while he was preparing for his role Poolman, a 2023 box office bomb that he starred, co-wrote, produced and directed.
Embracing his character in the film, Pine fully embodied Darren Barrenman, a “hapless dreamer and would-be philosopher who spends his days looking after the pool of the Tahitian Tiki apartment block in sunny Los Angeles.”
He appeared at the opening of the film with his bushy gray beard and his long blonde hair with gray roots loosely resting over the shoulders of a sand-colored blazer. He added to his outfit a pair of dark gray shorts and a t-shirt that reads, “I [heart] LA.”
Sharing a clip on X that shows Pine at the opening, E! News writes, “[Chris Pine] is just in a silly goofy mood.”
‘Homeless’
Before the opening of Poolman, released in May 2024, fans were shocked to see the heartthrob walking around Los Angeles with wavy salt-and-pepper hair and an untamed beard.
His bright blue eyes were hidden by dark sunglasses and his white tank top showed his toned arms, one hand clutching a mask.
“Looks 55 and homeless! Great character actor!!” writes one fan of the Wonder Woman star becoming his character.
Expressing their genuine concern, a handful of fans wondered if Pine was facing some hard times.
“… he could fit in with the homeless people on the streets there. I guess times are tough for everyone,” said one, while a second adds, “He’s going for the homeless look. Someone toss him a bar of soap, he likely needs a scrubbing.”
A third offers, “He was one nice looking guy, I wonder what happened?”
Then there were the fans who had a hard time recognizing Pine’s chiseled face under the grizzled beard.
“Almost don’t recognize him now. Sad!” says one user, while another writes, “I’m impressed anyone recognized him. He looks raggedy.”
Comparing the star to Jeff Bridges as the eccentric slacker in The Big Lebowski, a third shares: “If they ever remake The Big Lebowski, we know who to get to play The Dude!”
‘Chris Pine is a king’
Meanwhile, throngs of fans loved Pine’s new look and gushed over the actor who played the handsome Lord Deveraux in the Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
“Yet still fine as f***,” remarks one cyber fan, while a second says, “Still looks great.”
A third writes, “He was a prince. Chris Pine is a king now!”
Offering an explanation to his rough new look, another netizen adds, “Kids, this is what we old folks called ‘getting old.’” The user continues, “Nobody (except maybe Tom Cruise) stays looking the same as we age and get older. You’re welcome.”
