People wade through mud and water at Burning Man.
  • Elon Musk called Burning Man the "best art on Earth" despite chaotic weather conditions.
  • The Nevada arts festival was hit with heavy rainfall, which turned the site into a muddy swamp.
  • Organizers began to let stranded festivalgoers leave the site at around 2 p.m. local time Monday.

Burning Man may have been a partial washout this year, but that hasn't stopped at least one of its high-profile fans from singing its praises.
