A 9-foot-tall statue depicting a bust of tech billionaire Elon Musk has been vandalized in South Texas.

A photograph showing two areas where it appears a top layer of material has been stripped from the statue, revealing a white or pale gray layer underneath. A tattered ribbon of the top layer material hangs raggedly from the chin of the Musk sculpture.

The vandalism of the Musk sculpture joins a pattern of vandalization of property and vehicles associated with Musk, whose appointment as a top Trump adviser and head of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has drawn ire nationwide.

The Rio Grande Valley hasn’t been spared from that trend.

In February, a mural of Musk located in downtown Brownsville was defaced by graffiti that read “Deny Defend Depose,” along with an anarchy symbol that was scrawled in black spray paint over one of Musk’s cheeks.
