Parody 'Enron Egg' Mocks Tech Hype With Fake At-Home Nuclear Reactor

The creators of 'Birds Aren't Real' resurrect Enron as a satirical brand, unveiling a fictional micro-nuclear reactor for suburban homes.

Connor Gaydos, co-creator of the satirical 'Birds Aren't Real' movement, purchased the Enron trademark in 2020 and has now turned it into a parody brand.
The 'Enron Egg,' marketed as the world's first at-home nuclear reactor, is a fictional product intended as satire and performance art, according to the company’s terms of service.
Promotional materials mimic tech industry marketing, claiming the device can power homes for 10 years using uranium-based fuel, while clearly stating it is not a real product.
The parody highlights concerns over the tech industry's tendency to present potentially dangerous ideas with excessive optimism and minimal scrutiny.
Enron’s satirical relaunch coincided with the 23rd anniversary of the original company’s infamous bankruptcy, drawing attention to its history of fraud and collapse.
