A sculpture of Elon Musk was recently seen being towed behind a Tesla Cybertruck in Brownsville, Texas. The nine-foot-tall figure was created as a humorous tribute to a viral meme based on a poorly drawn portrait of Musk that surfaced on Reddit six years ago. The initiative was led by Louis XXII, a French tech entrepreneur and cofounder of ElonRWA, a “real world asset meme” token on Ethereum’s second layer, organized by the decentralized autonomous organization FeistyDAO as reported by ARTnews.

Louis XXII emphasized that the statue isn’t tied to the value of the ElonRWA token but is simply a playful way to bring the meme to life. Earlier this year, the same collective commissioned a large mural of the drawing with the phrase “Occupy Mars,” which was painted by local Brownsville artist Carlos Manuel Guerrero.

The sculpture, made of foam and fiberglass, was produced by a company in Utah. Louis XXII received the statue on August 15, and it was painted to resemble bronze as described by San Antonio Express News. The project highlights the collective’s aim to seemingly create authentic, positive NFT projects, regardless of market trends.
