Enron may be back, but there seems to be a satirical aspect to his return.

Despite promising to “advance a bold vision of the future” and “unveiling the most revolutionary technology the energy sector has ever seen,” Enron announced that its new CEO was not an experienced energy executive.

Instead, the latest version of Enron is led by Connor Gaydos, who is perhaps best known for the satirical conspiracy theory that “birds are not reality” and are instead government-operated surveillance drones.

An Enron spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for further information.

Enron returns, promising “corporate responsibility” and “commitment to integrity”

Gaydos is also co-owner of the College Company, which purchased the rights to the Enron name in 2020 for $275, the Texas Standard reports.

Enron, once one of the most valuable companies in the world, famously imploded in an accounting scandal, and the company’s return on investment was 23 years to the day on December 2, when the company filed for bankruptcy.

In a video announcing Gaydos as CEO, he noted: “It’s true we’ve had poor leadership in the past, but fortunately the past is prologue and now we’re turning the page.”

“What we are doing behind the scenes and what we are going to release is truly groundbreaking,” Gaydos added. “It’s really revolutionary.”

While no further clues have been released as to what the “groundbreaking” project will be, more information is expected at the Enron Power Summit, an event scheduled for January 6, 2025, which will also be the day the electoral votes are counted and to be confirmed will take place in Washington, DC

Four years ago, this procedural incident turned violent when a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol to overturn Trump’s election loss to President Joe Biden.

Whether there is a meaningful connection between the two remains unclear.
