Elon Musk does not respond to Austin’s $600K Statue Surfaces

Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla and Twitter CEO, has yet to respond to a 12,000-pound sculpture made of metal in Austin, Texas. The sculpture has his head atop a goat riding on a rocket.

According to Wall Street Journal, the sculpture was purchased by crypto enthusiasts at a cost of $600,000

The statue, which measures 30 feet and weighs 12,000 pounds, was unveiled Saturday outside Tesla’s headquarters as part of an event called “Goatsgiving” by Elon GOAT creators.

According to Elon GOAT’s website, the statue was created in honor of Musk “contribution towards cryptocurrency.” GOAT is an acronym that stands for the “greatest ever”

Ashley Sansalone, a self-described Musk fan, and a team that included Alec Wolvert, Richie Latimer, designed the statue to promote their cryptocurrency.

“We dedicated this statue to [Elon Musk] Latimer explained that he was able to step in for crypto at a good moment and blow everything up,” Latimer added. “With everything that he has done. [cryptocurrencies] Doge and Baby Doge were among the coins we chose to use. We also decided to make a difference and do something more than just to give him something.
