Enron has been resurrected in what appears to be an elaborate joke

A version of this story appeared in CNN Business’ Nightcap newsletter. TL;DR: A company that makes T-shirts bought the Enron trademark and appears to be trying to sell some merch on behalf of the guy behind the satirical conspiracy theory “Birds Aren’t Real.” No, this is not a bit. The strategist said “we’ll have more to share soon,” but declined to comment beyond the statement posted on the Enron site. In its statement, oddly posted as an image file on the Enron site, the company lays out its “bold new vision” to solving the world’s energy problems. The main page on the Enron site includes a countdown clock, which, as of Monday afternoon, showed 7 days and 17 hours to go until Enron has “something very special to introduce.” Meanwhile, you can tab over to the site’s “Company Store” page to browse a selection of Enron-branded hoodies, puffer vests, tees baseball hats, beanies and water bottles emblazoned with the slogan “you’ve got great energy.”
