A Cybertruck towing a giant bust of tech mogul Elon Musk is traveling across South Texas, raising questions and going viral online.

In a video posted to social media Saturday, the bronze-colored bust was seen upright on a flatbed trailer. It towered over the Tesla-branded pickup that pulled it along a Brownsville street. Yellow straps crisscrossed the statue’s misshapen head. They framed a stern-looking Musk staring back at the vehicles following him.

The same French tech entrepreneur and crypto advocate identified only as “Louis” who commissioned a 3-story-tall mural of Musk that now stands along the route to Starbase is behind the bust that people have seen across Cameron County.

All Righty Then

Was musk a Civil War General in his past life?

[Right Brother]

Who doesn’t like a giant bust?

The man has a fine sense of humor. 😆

It’s probably not going to look all that big in the center of a plaza, or wherever it’s intended.

[Does so]

Not much of a trailer for a bronze bust

Dear Elon:

How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways

[butlerweave]

Maybe it’s duct-tape

[HYPOCRACY]

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Cybertrucks need recharging after 250 miles.

Towing a loaded trailer? Every 100 miles.

I can’t see this one Cybertruck trailer towing a big bust around South Texas.

They wouldn’t be saying this if it were Zuckerberg or Bezos. But the left hates musk for speaking his mind without applying lib-speak filters. How dare he support American Greatness and Exceptionalism. Now that he has fully embraced Trump for POTUS, they’re attacks get more bitter and spiteful.

It wasn’t so long ago that the left loved Musk. The same with Trump...

Who doesn’t like a giant bust?

 

You shouldn't have asked that question. You really shouldn't have.

[Billthedrill]

Good grief! Warn a feller, wontcha?

[Williams]

I don’t see how this could raise any kind of questions except maybe where is it going.

[Leaning Right]

Meanwhile, there’s a huge statue of Lenin in Seattle.

Notice the red paint on the hands. Someone does that now and again as a reminder of just how bloody the Bolsheviks were.

[al baby]

No but he could be related to Stallone

Maye Musk, Elon's mother.....almost 70 and still a model.
