Do you remember this awesome statue of Elon Musk with a goat’s head on a rocket? Even the person concerned found the joke a bit too far. Of course, although its creators hoped to get a response from the millionaire on social networks, the latter did not even want to answer them.

It was a mistake that cost them $600,000 – in addition to becoming the laughingstock of many Internet users. A couple of weeks ago, we shared this extraordinary project that took the form of a statue of Elon Musk (to be modest). But don’t just keep any statue of Elon Musk: It’s actually a millionaire’s head on a goat’s body, all resting on a rocket. A great play on words with the English expression “goat” as a tribute to all the millionaire’s work.

The project wasn’t just meant to make Elon Musk’s few remaining hardcore fans dream. The statue was commissioned by EGT, a token marketing company named after the world’s richest man, Elon Got Token (promise, we’re not making anything up). The idea was to send the statue to the businessman in hopes that he would talk about it on his social networks and, in fact, increase the value of EGT.

Elon Musk ignores his $600,000 statue

The math itself is very logical. We specifically remember Dogecoin, which was originally a parody cryptocurrency, Until Elon Musk got serious about it and raised prices. However, EGT clearly miscalculated that a statue several meters tall with an unusual design was less likely to evoke emotion.

As expected, Elon Musk didn’t quite react to the statue’s arrival at Tesla’s headquarters in Austin, Texas. A bitter failure that did not discourage the founders of EGT. The latter now plans to introduce the statue on a tour across the United States in time for Christmas, thus transforming the statue into “Elon Santa.” It took a lot of effort not to lose face.
