OF all the things Elon Musk could go viral for, the last thing you probably thought of was how he eats a potato spiral.
The internet is losing its mind over a picture of the billionaire eating a spiraled potato on a stick in quite a strange way.

The photo was taken when the SpaceX CEO attended this year’s Charro Days festival in Brownsville, Texas.
Brownsville is near SpaceX’s Starbase HQ and this is where Musk is said to live.
It wasn’t odd for him to attend the festival but some fans think it’s odd the Tesla boss would put a potato spiral in his mouth just like a lollipop.
Once Musk got hold of the fried potato on a stick, also known as a spiropapa, the memes basically wrote themselves.
One popular meme suggested Musk looks like a xenomorph, the creature from the popular ‘Alien’ film franchise.
Another meme showed a potato spiral photoshopped as a new SpaceX rocket ready to launch.

One meme even swaps out the potato spiral for SpaceX satellites and shows them pouring out of Musk’s mouth.
As well as memes, lots of people tweeted their joy and disbelief at seeing the potato spiral image.
One person tweeted: “WHY IS ELON MUSK AT CHARRO DAYS AND WHY IS HE EATING A SPIROPAPA LIKE THAT.”
Another said: “Find someone who looks at you the way Elon Musk looks at this fried potato spiral”.
Another wrote: “Elon in this photo is my savior of hope for our future. Thank God he ate that potato thingy. I needed to see this today.”
Musk wasn’t just at the festival to eat potatoes.
He was there spending time with his and Grimes’ toddler X Æ A-12.
Musk appeared in several photos with “Baby X” as well as many others with potato spirals.
It’s unclear how many spiropapas he actually ate.
