SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, is used to being in the limelight for his comments. He again came in headlines when he pledged to give up omelettes for a week after an article was published in the leading newspaper in the US highlighting the environmental impact of his recent SpaceX launch.
Mike Pesca, who hosts podcasts, shared a picture of The New York Times' front page explaining the stories on this topic. He was baffled when he read that the most important story on the front page was about Elon's successful launch into space destroying nine birds' nests. The headline of the story was ‘At SpaceX, Wildlife Safety Takes Back Seat to Launch.’
SpaceX destroying nine bird nests is the lead story
Mike on his Twitter explained which stories on the front page are the lead story and which is the sub-lead. He wrote, “If you aren't familiar with the grammar of the Times front page layout here it is: The top right story is the lead story, the top left story is the sub-lead, everything else above the fold is the important news of the day. Today, The New York Times says the second most important story is mounting pressure from senior congressional Dems to push Biden out of the race.”
“The 3rd most important story is a shocking French election results upending all expectations. The MOST important story is Elon Musk's successful space launch destroying nine bird nests,” Mike continued.
