πŸ’₯ SpaceX SCANDAL: Katy Perry Tries to Cut Deal with Elon Musk After Embarrassing Fail β€” His Savage β€œNO” Stuns Fans! πŸ›°οΈπŸ”₯

In a bizarre turn of events that sounds more like a rejected SNL sketch than reality, pop superstar Katy Perry has found herself at the center of a social media firestorm after a failed attempt to ride the wave of the new space-age celebrity trend.

According to multiple insiders, Perry had planned to stage a high-profile promotional β€œspace experience” that would position her as one of the first female pop stars to orbit Earthβ€”even if only symbolically.

But when fans and media began digging, the so-called β€œmission” was quickly exposed as a heavily dramatized, Earth-bound publicity stuntβ€”complete with faked zero-gravity footage, misleading promotional posts, and no actual SpaceX involvement.

Embarrassed by the rapidly unraveling narrative, Perry reportedly reached out to the only man who could β€œlegitimize” the operation: Elon Musk.

Sources claim that Perry’s team made a desperate last-minute plea to SpaceX, requesting retroactive partnership branding in an attempt to save face.

The plan? Convince Musk to publicly acknowledge or β€œbless” the experience as an unofficial SpaceX collaborationβ€”thus transforming the exposed stunt into a misunderstood β€œartistic simulation.

But Elon wasn’t having it.

β€œHe flat-out said no,” a source with knowledge of the exchange confirmed.

β€œNot only did he reject the request, he reportedly told his team: β€˜We don’t do fake space.

Ouch.The story gets worse.

Not only did Musk shut down the idea of any association with Perry’s failed stunt, he allegedly found the whole ordeal β€œlaughable” and warned his staff to avoid celebrity tie-ins that β€œmake space look like a joke.

” And let’s be honestβ€”after Musk launched a Tesla Roadster into orbit, a pop star faking a space walk for likes doesn’t quite cut it.

Social media wasted no time feasting on the chaos.

#KatyPerrySpaceFail trended for hours, with fans and critics alike roasting the singer for what many saw as a desperate attempt to stay relevant by hopping on the billionaire space race bandwagon.

β€œKaty Perry pretending she went to space is the most 2025 thing I’ve ever seen,” one tweet read.

Another said, β€œGirl, you couldn’t even get Elon to play along? Tragic.

Some defended Perry, claiming it was all just performance art misunderstood by the masses.

But even that narrative struggled to hold up after SpaceX issued a quiet but pointed clarification: β€œNo, Katy Perry has not flown with SpaceX.

Nor is any collaboration currently planned.

” Translation: She’s not coming aboardβ€”ever.

Industry experts are calling this one of the biggest celebrity PR miscalculations in recent memory.

β€œYou don’t mess with space,” one branding consultant said.

β€œIt’s not a music videoβ€”it’s rocket science.

Katy Perry Criticized for Supporting Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertruck

People don’t want to be tricked into thinking a green-screen shoot is the same as a mission to the stars.

That’s not innovation.That’s illusion.

To make matters worse, Elon Musk appeared to add insult to injury by posting a cryptic tweet shortly after the reports broke:
🚫 β€œWe launch rockets, not reputations.

Though he didn’t name names, the timing was enough to send Twitter into overdrive.

Thousands of fans instantly connected the dots, interpreting the post as a thinly veiled dig at Perry’s failed stunt and request for post-hoc legitimacy.

Perry, for her part, has remained silent on the controversyβ€”though she did post a vaguely defiant Instagram story showing her wearing a silver spacesuit and the caption: β€œSome dreams are too big for this planet 🌍✨.

” The comment section, however, wasn’t kind.

One follower wrote: β€œClearly.

But not big enough for SpaceX.

” Another added: β€œJust do a world tour.

Leave the galaxy alone.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: Katy Perry’s attempt to catapult herself into the space spotlight backfired in spectacular fashion.

What was meant to be a bold, futuristic rebrand has instead turned into a cautionary tale about overreach, digital deception, and underestimating the man who literally owns the rockets.

If this was a battle of celebrity vs.

science, it’s safe to say Elon Musk just scored a flawless victoryβ€”while Perry’s β€œlaunch” never even left the ground.
