Elon Musk Eats Humble Pie Over Unpaid Bakery Bill

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently found himself in an embarrassing situation when it was revealed that he had not paid a bakery bill.

The incident occurred at a local bakery where Musk had stopped by to grab a quick snack. He reportedly ordered several pastries and a coffee, but when it came time to pay, he realized that he did not have any cash or credit cards on him.

Embarrassed by his oversight, Musk promised to come back and settle the bill later that day. However, as the days passed, he failed to follow through on his promise, prompting the bakery owner to call him out on social media.

In a tweet, the bakery owner wrote, “Hey @elonmusk, remember that time you came by and ordered pastries but never paid? We’re still waiting for you to come back and settle the bill. #payup”

After the tweet went viral, Musk publicly apologized for his mistake and promised to make amends. He later returned to the bakery to settle the bill and even offered to buy pastries for all the customers present as a gesture of goodwill.

While the incident may have been a minor blip for someone as wealthy and influential as Musk, it serves as a reminder that no one is above the common courtesy of paying for what they consume.
