Why is a giant sculpture of Elon Musk on a goat's body being driven around Texas?

AUSTIN, Texas — It can seem hard to avoid Elon Musk these days, especially if you live in Central Texas near Tesla and other companies led by the billionaire.

And if that weren't enough, self-described "massive Elon fans" are driving a giant sculpture of Musk's face — on the body of a goat, riding on a rocket — around the Austin area.

The owners of the sculpture run a cryptocurrency firm called Elon Goat Token and say it is meant to pay homage to Musk's contributions to cryptocurrency. The sculpture is intended to symbolize that Musk is the GOAT — an acronym for Greatest Of All Time — which is why the billionaire's head is on the body of a goat.

It sits on the back of a semi-trailer and is more than 30 feet long, 20 feet tall, and Musk's head, which is wearing a Dogecoin necklace, is about 6 feet tall. The sculpture also includes such features as simulated rocket fire, smoke, lasers, and lighting.

A spokesman for $EGT explained: “Most people thought we would never do it, but after one year of building the time has come to bring it home to Elon.

"Really we just want to meet the guy and give it to him.

“After all, he is the most innovative human alive, hence the GOAT - Greatest Of All Time.

1. It doesn't really look like a goat.

It's more like Elon's head is on a pig. It's too fat to be a goat!

[Celerity]

2. I think you are having a laugh, but, in case not, 'goat' is 'greatest of all time'

18. Nonono. The headline said "a giant sculpture of Elon Musk on a goat's body"

then in the article, "Musk's face — on the body of a goat, riding on a rocket"

I want to see that, dammit. Then do my best to unsee it for the rest of my life.

8. So, for those of you who have not seen the show 'She-Hulk'

There is a scene where these incel-types are plotting to bring her down. The leader of this movement (I think) was modeled after eLoon. Suffice to say, those three look exactly like any of the guys in that scene. You should check it out, as I am sure it was a take on both Musk and the desperate attempt by his ilk to remain being seen as 'superior'.

24. 2. Goats Exemplify Self-Reliance and Destruction

Goats have several meanings from the Bible.
