Some of us have been wondering why the usual fanbois haven’t been showing up here lately to defend every dumb move their god-emperor makes. Mystery solved!

Why a goat?

Goat? That looks like some kind of hideous slug/millipede crossover body on that thing.
Goats are lovely.

I don’t get it at all.
I wouldn’t donate 10 cents to build a statue of someone I actually liked and respected, no matter who they were.
But to build one of Phony Stark? Those are some deranged humans.

So really they’re just hoping some of his big meme-stock energy will rub off on their meme-currency, right? So just the regular behavior / magical thinking of the rest of his fanbois, but made into a concrete grift (well, steel or whatever…)

We will all see how much Musk cares about them by what he does with this “art”

“GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)” pun?
Fits with Musk’s lame sense of humor (recall he carried a sink into Twitter HQ just so he could make a terrible “let that SINK in!” joke).

That reminds me of this. Maybe if we all wish together we can put him in the cornfield.

This could be used in an art class to demonstrate a basic principle of art: you don’t get to assign meaning to your work. If the consensus is you have created a giant ugly thing that mocks the subject then that is what you have created. Leave it up to the tech-bros to think you can “engineer” a sculpture.

This being real and this being a joke aren’t mutually exclusive. It is very much a joke. Unintentionally so of course, but then Musk and his followers never succeed in being funny on purpose.

Proof, if any is needed, of the beauty of the Goat.
It’ll look great next to the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest
My take on this escapee from the Muskatonic Museum of NFaT.

Dear lord - it looks like the Tenniel drawing of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland.
Riding a dildo.
