A Silicon Valley crosswalk button now features the voices of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, thanks to a mystery hacker with a flair for the absurd. Pedestrians get a tech titan showdown just for wanting to cross the street—because nothing says “walk signal” like existential AI banter and billionaire beef.

City officials scrambled after 12 Palo Alto intersections and four Redwood City sites were hit, with Caltrans confirming hacked pedestrian signals now run on timers. The viral tech prank left locals debating digital security, crosswalk safety, and Silicon Valley’s unique brand of protest.
