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...
Lmfao is he fucking serious with that thing…? What the actual fuck?
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.
How is that real and not AI Slop?
He got the same sculpter as Ronaldo.
Is this after it was vandalized?
No, it looks better now
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.
There's a long history of people pulling down authoritarian monuments.
Not in the US. Yet.
Could’ve sworn the US had started pulling down those stupid confederate monuments. Doesn’t that count?
we got a bunch of civil war monuments removed, we are on the way
Sanctioned removal of monuments is one thing. Angry people throwing chains over them and pulling down with trucks is another.
Plenty of protesters ripping these down. Not just “sanctioned” removals.

There was that Christopher Columbus statue in Baltimore that got the Boston tea party treatment.
It was created by an Elon Musk superfan who identified himself to ARTnews as a French tech entrepreneur under the pseudonym “Louis XXII."
His other pseudonyms include Adrian Dittman and Doge Designer
Why does this fuckhead have a statue? What is wrong with him?
Could you imagine the actual diagnoses.
The words “Sociopathic Narcissist” would probably play into it.
Pathology: See Elon Musk
And apparently a mural... which was vandalized in February
That is one fucking ugly statue to begin with...
But then, look what the artist had to work with. 🤷♂️
It's fiberglass with a coating over it. It's a fake bronze statue like those animals in the play area at amusement parks.
Hmmm, trump uses fake bronzer and elon makes a fake bronze statue. Coincidence?
Next time deface the man himself.
You love to see it. Keep this civil disobedience up! It probably won't fix anything, but it sure as shit annoys them.
In other words, good. Also, no one gives a shit about billionaire snowflake feelings.
Did he pay for a statue of himself?
I'd be impressed if that statue remains un-vandalized for long without significant security.
Save government money by destroying it now
It's not nationwide, it's multinational, although obviously not for the same reasons. Several countries in Europe are also protesting and vandalising Tesla and Musk-related stuff.
There is too much left
Nazis shouldn't have statues
Billionaires should have statues
Scammers shouldn't have statues
Racists shouldn't have statues
Thieves shouldn't have statues
Assholes should not have statues
So Elmo musk shouldn't have a statue
Fuck Elmo musk
