Sorry for the late reply.
The red rose dates from the 19th century, when some countries would arrest you if you were a socialist but you could wear a flower in a buttonhole and claim plausible deniability.
It’s still very widely used, especially by SocDems and DemSocs. Further left groups tend to use other symbols, but not always. If brocialists are using it it’s on the same level as brocialists drinking water and breathing air, it’s not something worth giving up just because of them.
As a symbol it has nothing to do with Musk, who is so bad he would manage to be a better person if he became a brocialist.

I don’t have great faith in Anonymous, but if they can make Musk sweat a little, or give him a “black eye” or two… good.

New Yorkers react to strikingly indifferent statue of Elon Musk with cheering hostility
The city of New York received an addition to its trove of often obscure and peculiar statuary when a life-sized polyester resin figure of famously charismatic Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk was unveiled in Downtown Manhattan.
The statue, which commemorates Musk’s 50th birthday on 28 June and was erected by online stock trading firm Public.com – for some reason which doubtless made sense to them, at least – depicts a smiling individual with an almost passing resemblance to Musk with their hands on their head, wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
The response to the statue from New Yorkers, a breed of people well known for their tolerance, forbearance, and thoughtful opinions on public art, has been mostly positive.
“Thank you,” wrote one on Twitter. “It’s getting hard to find public toilets.”
“How much to dump this crap in the East River?” pondered another.
“What better way to commemorate his contributions to our society [than] with an expensive, self-promoting but ultimately useless expression of showmanship no one asked for,” effused a third.

Have you heard unbelievably stupid idea someone made up on twitter?
Christ, why would anyone care about yet another unbelievably stupid idea?
Someone with lots of money.
Oh, that’s news then. See how far you make it sound less stupid. 
I have nothing against people getting their entertainment from watching the zany exploits of celebrities, but I wish they’d act like that’s what they’re doing here.

This Musk worship reminds me of the immortal words of Barry Shitpeas:
Americans like Trump because he has loads of money, which is sort of their version of being clever.

Wow, what a stupid idea.
Where’s the benefit for toxoplasmosis to drive us towards the rather specific product of AI? (I say towards because evolution doesn’t have an end goal in mind, just selective advantages for the next generation.)
If that were the case, then I’d expect to see more generalized work on all kind of crazy projects, like rockets. Hmm.
I could believe a brain parasite that clamps down on common sense, makes people collect huge amounts of deadly weapons, ignore basic pandemic protocols, believe all kinds of nonsense because someone on the Internet said so, try lame attempts to overthrow the government…
It’d be nice to blame a parasite, but people have always been that dumb.
