Description

The 12-foot tall sculpture is a bust of Elon Musk. [4] [5] He has a "smug expression", according to La Voce di New York. [2] Cowboy State Daily wrote, "Sporting a well-coiffed mane, blank eyes and a satisfied smirk, the Musk bust rests under a canopy held up by pillars adorned by patriotic blue stars." Text reads, "Make America Wait Again. Now With Longer Lines Thanks To DOGE Cuts." [6] The work is considered a form of political protest, [7] seemingly in response to the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) cuts to the National Park Service. [8]

History

The sculpture has appeared at Arches National Park, [9] [10] Mount Rainier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, [6] and Yosemite National Park. [4]
