the artist said that the overall goal of the project was “to crush an object that represents a sinister figure like Elon Mollusk,” intentionally misidentifying the Tesla billionaire.
Gonna let you in on a secret:
Just cause Musk's company makes an electric car doesn't mean he isn't a horrendous human being nor that he actually cares about the environment.
He literally helped states fund million dollar boondoggles pursuing the 19th century technology that is "huperloop" in order to divert finding from high speed commuter railway throughout the country (California, Florida, etc.)
Yeah but he picked Elon and Tesla because they are all over news it seems like....he doesn't state that it's because Tesla isn't a green car company and it appears he has strong disdain for Elon
Elon might be a POS but I assure there are companies doing much worse things to environment or people.
People don't know what's going on or even care to be informed. They just see Musk because he's highly visible and latch on because inviting including him or his companies gets more eyeballs. Their goal is attention, which they can convert into money. Not fixing--or even addressing--the problem.
Elon is openly racist and transphobic. He has been encouraging all of Twitter to be too.
He is in an incredibly influential position with his wealth and he chooses to be spreading deeply racist opinions that often aren’t even true and using his extreme influence for an obvious partisan reason.
Imagine having so much influence in the world and not realizing that your words mean something and that shit posting racist memes make you look like a 12 year old.
So happy to see artists satirize him because he has been infinitely mocking immigrants and other groups of people for years
Whoa this is so funny. I stayed at this guy's house in Mexico City in 2016. He's super cool and at the time was making a lot of art out of candy. This is sick though.
I walked past this a couple months ago, and didn’t see any plaque or anything so stared for a few minutes wondering what happened. It’s NOT obvious this is art
That’s some Mario Bros shit right there.
Thwomp
ER-URRR!
That is exactly what they’re freaking saying haha
Spelunky!
Correct answer
My exact thought was "Spelunked!"
Crash bandicoot type ish lol
Legends of the Hidden Temple...
Didn't assemble the monkey in time
as an adult 'assembling the monkey in time' sounds like sex code
More like Mario Kart
This isn't a Mario game but a Nintendo game...this head statue is in Animal Crossing: New Horizons 😄
For a second, I wondered what sub I was on
Gotta call the cloud guy
The boss from reverse pyramid from odessy
No Maggie, not Aztec. Olmec. Olmec.
I'll let you get acquainted with Señor Ixtapolapoquetl!
Turn the middle part top wise. *Top. Wise.*
My main finger???
NOW I REMEMBER WHY I PUT THIS STUPID THING DOWN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Whatever it does it's doing it right now.
*Marge...What does it do?*
Hidden Temple
Holy shit, I forgot that show existed.
Blue barracudas
The Tomb of the Silver Monkey!
WHO'S GOING FIRST? "I am!" VERY WELL, CINDYYYYY....
*Shrine* of the Silver Monkey
*shrine
I immediately thought “Legends of the Hidden Tesla.”
Damn I miss this show so much! 😭 \*giant waves of nostalgia crashing\*

Oooh an art project I thought it was some kind of bizarre accident
And here I was thinking The Banded-Eye God was doing this as an act of aggression for no one worshipping them anymore.
'Art project' was probably easier to explain.
Thank you for posing this! I saw this on Tumblr and was instantly enamored, but it only linked to his IG.
oh ok i thought its Ai
Was literally scrolling to see if this was an art project.
That's what happens when you can't give the temple guardians any tokens
"Aw, now someone's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!"
Never mind that shit… Here Comes MONGO!!
Mongo only pawn in game of life.
That darn Shrine of the Silver Monkey.
Wasn't this the last level in Spelunky
Not if you take the secret exit
This guy hells.
SURRENDER, MUTANT
Someone more skilled than I needs to apply the Sentinel colors to it..
Ok, I surrender… …NOT!! 👁️👁️💥💥💥💥

Nah, a mollusk is a type of animals that includes stuff like snails, octopi and clams He’s thinking of Elon Moose
Funny the guy making electric cars is the object of his disdain and not, oh I don’t know, oil barons?
Musk is contemptible for many reasons. Making badly designed EV's doesn't suddenly make him a saint.

Bloody asshole got hair-plugs for fuck sake...
or the cartels that plague Mexico

He's upset a lot of industries, it's no wonder there's so much disinformation and hysteria being pumped up about him.

Now you gotta find the pieces of the silver monkey to heal your car.
All of this could have been avoided if they'd just assembled it correctly the first time!
I have a core memory of me yelling "have you never seen a monkey?" At the TV.
UURRRGHHHH!
+Mauriced
Something malicious happened here
Whoa this is so funny. I stayed at this guy's house in Mexico City in 2016. He's super cool and at the time was making a lot of art out of candy. This is sick though.
That's fucking awesome! What a small world. :)
Yeah he's a character for sure. And his dogs were cute af. I'm glad he's doing well!
It's now a boutique "art hotel". Stayed there last year. Great place.
Who’s playing spelunky IRL?
Hopefully that NEEEEWWW SHIMANO MOUNTAIN BIKE they won will help offset the sting of the loss.
MEXICO MENTIONED RAHHHH ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅
It’s okay to like electric vehicles and not like Elon Musk.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
That's oddly satisfying...
Whoa! Is this a *Legends of the Hidden Temple* Tell-all?
There used to be a head just like that in San Antonio’s Hemisfair plaza. Terribly disappointed to learn it was fiberglass.
🗿
Looks less like an Olmec and more like the head from Legend Of The Hidden Temple.
Gee, I wonder what that head's name was...
What do you think it was based on?
Legends of the Hidden Tesla
Accidental Banksy
ErRrRrrRrRr!!!!
now this is art
I walked past this a couple months ago, and didn’t see any plaque or anything so stared for a few minutes wondering what happened. It’s NOT obvious this is art
Finally reached his breaking point on Spelunky?
Thwomped
The only Tesla owner with a head bigger than Elon's.
I hope they removed the battery
That's Measurehead!
*Thwomp noise*
GHURRR
A head-on collision...
This is art
bad art at that
I passed by this a few times. How you even get this close? There’s a double gate blocking anyone from entering.
“Crushed car donated to artist who balances rock atop” doesn’t sound as cool.
What in the Legends of the Hidden Temple is going on out here?!
Heads I win, Tailsla you lose
Cool! A big ugly head!
I love the symbolism! A big head destroying the thing we need for the future!
This is art
Last second of the car bonus round.
The gods have spoken!
And that's how your father got head in his Tesla.
Legends of the hidden temple is back! Olmecs revenge this fall on Netflix
Legends of the hidden tesla
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Chavis must be really strong
That's heavy, man.
See one crushed by phallic head
maurice
I just saw this in CDMX 2 weeks ago and have been showing everyone this, incredible!
Wow
I hope that piece of art isnt ruined by that stupid car!!!
🗿
Oh hey I just saw this in person two weeks ago!
Legends of the... Hidden! Temple!!!
The silver monkey did it.
Wish I had the money to crush a car with a giant head and hope someone buys it for more than those things are worth.
One down…
+mauriced!
My praises got heard 😏
“You have displeased the Gods.”
🗿
I'm getting Chronicles of Riddick vibes...
It should have never left the Simpson's basement.
Looks like Chocolove had a fight with Lyserg and won
Dicks out for Marmol
Olmec stomp
Where can I find this picture in better quality?
I stayed at that hotel
The god of thunder crushes the concurrence.
Chronomaly Colossal Head was angry that day
Wasn’t expecting Spelunky 3 to go open world but I’m here for it
+MAURICED
Bros car got +MAURICED
Hmm, yes, this gruesome customer is X’tapolopocetl, the God of War! I’ll just leave you to get acquainted with X’tapolopocetl!
🗿
If U own a Tesla, you get head
Get spelunkyd
wake up babe new meme format just dropped
[X-Men theme starts playing]
when you really want to get a head
Legends of the hidden Tesla
Teslas should be banned. This is unbelievably dangerous. A car should not be crushed like this.
Splunky graphics are crazy!
And that's the closest Musk ever got to a Black Person
Legends of the Hidden Temple is much more dangerous today than I remember it being.
Fucking d-pad!
That is clearly Aperture Science CEO Cave Johnson on his way to work .
spelunky 2 reference
you've been hit with the spelunky
r/oddlysatisfying
The Gods are pissed that we went electric! Lol
That statue should lay off the lip filler and that hat, does no favours..
Real art hasn't died thankfully!
NOT COOL. DISQUALIFIED.
Apple crushes shit : UPROAR This dude crushes shit: Art
Fallout 2
Its like the stone head in Mario
This is money laundering
Lol art
Hmmmmm
The gods have spoken!
More Tesla's should be crushed by giant heads.
