Heavy metal icons Gwar staged a mock beheading of Elon Musk and murdered President Trump during their performance at this weekend’s Riot Fest, with critics slamming the band for “normalizing violence.”
Shocking video shows the chainsaw-wielding Musk mannequin, dressed in sunglasses, a baseball cap, a black “D.O.G.E.” t-shirt, matching black jeans and a jacket being decapitated by a member of the band mid-show at the Chicago rock festival.
To cheers from the crowd, the mannequin’s head comes flying off with a slice of the costumed band member’s sword, sending a jet of fake blood spurting into the air.
Gwar — founded in 1984 in Richmond, Virginia and sometimes stylized as GWAR — are well-known for their grotesque costumes and graphically violent stunts.
Previous shows from the band have featured fake blood, urine and semen being used to spray the audience.
But Saturday afternoon’s performance sparked an outcry from some after footage of the beheading of Musk went viral on social media.
“That’s not edgy, it’s grotesque and reckless and normalizes violence against a real person. This is not okay. Riot Fest and GWAR crossed a major line,” one X user wrote, reposting the video.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the user was being sincere or “rage-baiting” others with the post, as they changed their bio on X to “GWAR’s biggest fan.”
“F–k Elon Musk. Call the manager you f–king loser. It’s like you never heard of GWAR before you f–king p–y,” the X account for hacking group Anonymous wrote in response.
Another shared a video of a similar stunt the band carried out, beheading a model of former President Joe Biden at a previous show.

Trying to get some insane person to behead someone are they ?
That’s just the way braindead, tyrannical fascist scumbags operate. Pieces of meat with two eyes.
Jimmy Kimmel should work for them. They don’t have licensure regulations. He can say whatever he wants on his own dime.
Gross. Doesn’t sound like they like anyone.

I see a multi-year audit in the future for Gwar and this ‘festival’, courtesy of the IRS.
Why give GWAR publicity? They are an oldies act anyway.
They’re jealous that they’re not as smart, successful and popular as Trump and Musk.

Wow. GWAR is still around. Who knew?
Do you suppose there are still any original members left in the band? With the costumes and makeup, you could replace all of them with locally hired temps and no one would know the difference.

Why are so many opposed to stopping government waste? Not just the politicians receiving kickbacks, but people who actually pay taxes.
