Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Gets Egged At Hungarian University

Steve Ballmer gets egged while addressing students at a Hungarian University.

Not everyone was happy to see Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at a Hungarian University. One of the students in the audience yelled at Ballmer and started throwing eggs at him just as he began addressing the audience. Ballmer quickly hid behind a desk. As security escorted the man out of the auditorium you could see he was wearing a “Microsoft is corrupt” shirt. Ballmer was less than happy.

Steve Ballmer Gets Egged

Why was this guy so upset? Before he started throwing eggs, he yelled at Ballmer claiming that Microsoft was stealing billions in Hungarian taxpayer money.

The incident sparked a media frenzy, with some commentators questioning whether the egging was a legitimate form of protest or an act of violence. While the police did not press charges, the incident was widely seen as a sign of discontent with Steve Ballmer’s leadership of Microsoft.

NERD NOTE: The Hungarian University where Steve Ballmer was egged was the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

Steve Ballmer Reacts To Being Egged

Ballmer himself later commented on the incident, saying that he was “not terribly impressed” and that he had “been egged before and it’s not a pleasant experience.” He also said that he was not worried about the incident, and that he was more concerned about the future of Microsoft.
