The Burning Man festival last year caused an embarrassing mistake for Elon Musk when he raved about the event on X only to discover the video he was commenting on was from Paris Fashion Week . To make matters worse the tech billionaire totally missed the mark as festivalgoers at the time were braving horriffc conditions that saw one 32-year-old attendee die . Sharing a post on X believing it was footage from the festival he wrote: “Burning Man is unique in the world.
Hard to describe how incredible it is for those who have never been. Best art on Earth.” His response featured a quoted post from someone who was claiming to be stuck at the festival at the time.
They wrote: “I’m currently stranded at Burning Man, along with thousands of others. Despite the unexpected challenges, some artists managed to put together an impromptu catwalk show. Trump says he wants Elon Musk in his cabinet as Tesla CEO 'ready to serve' Russian warlord gushes over Elon Musk for Starlink's help in war on Ukraine "The ‘I’m in the mud’ show is a metaphor for trying stuff and always learning.
I’m deeply inspired by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of this community.” The video that accompanied the tweet saw someone wearing a long black dress, black gloves and boots as they trudged through mud. However, a note added to the post by the social media app later clarified: “This is not burning man.
It is from Balenciaga fashion show in Paris,” including a link to the luxury fashion house.
