Make America Wait Again is a sculpture of Elon Musk. The Michigan-based artist's identity is unknown.[1][2] According to NBC Montana, the sculpture took approximately six weeks to complete and was "first drafted in a computer model, prior to being 3D-printed and reinforced".[3]

Description

[edit]

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

[edit]

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