New York: Elon Musk may not be a popular man among just-fired Twitter employees and a multitude of others for the steps he has implemented immediately after taking over the social media company.
But the world’s richest person has his fair share of fans as well.
A 30-foot-long monument, conceptualised and commissioned by Elon GOAT Token (EGT), has been crafted to salute their ‘hero’.
The shape is a bit bizarre, as the Tesla CEO’s head is fixed atop the body of a goat that is riding a rocket.
The 5-feet-9-inch tall monument, made of aluminium, has been crafted by Canadian metal sculptors Kevin and Michelle Stone as a cost of $600,000!

Calling him the ‘most innovative human alive’, EGT said in a statement: “Most people thought we would never do it, but after one year of building the time has come to bring it home to Elon. Really we just want to meet the guy and give it to him. After all, he is the most innovative human alive, hence the GOAT – Greatest Of All Time.”
The statement added: “We built Elon Musk a $600,000 monument on the back of a semi-trailer in honour of his many accomplishments and commitment to Cryptocurrency.”
Members of EGT plan to present the statue to Musk at Tesla’s Giga factory in Austin on November 26.
The statue has already toured several states in the US.
