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.
WTF is this thing?
Holy shit. I assumed you quickly made a ridiculously bad AI approximation what his 9-foot tall bust would like. But… that’s real… even the “memelord” inscription. WTF.
I had to google that shit myself thinking you guys were both having a giggle. No fucking way…
I wanna look it up myself too, because what the fuck even is this
Lmfao is he fucking serious with that thing…? What the actual fuck?
Racist shitheads having ugly statues seems to be a thing.
That one’s hilarious
Nathan Bedford Forrest, seeing the statue from Hell:
I can’t tell who’s on more drugs the horse, Forrest, or the gun.
Literal pea shooter
Your comment really got me good. Ahahaha. Was not prepared for the gun.
Look at it it’s all sorts of wrong, if ya showed it Zach Hazard he’d fucken puke. It’s all types of wrong.
How is that real and not AI Slop?
Is this after it was vandalized?
No, it looks better now
He got the same sculpter as Ronaldo.
Damn, that’s the worst case of vandalism I’ve ever seen!
It’s like Ron Swanson shaved his mustache, got stung by bees, then had a stroke.
New Bioshock/Idiocracy crossover just dropped
Insecurity, probably.
The artist clearly wasn’t a fan.
Here’s the story behind it.

It is not
Jeezus
God it’s even uglier than the CR7 one.
And at least CR7 does—or did—one thing really well and I understand setting up a statue for him.
Who commissioned this? The “MemeLord” himself? It’s pathetic.
