Great, Ahem, Art

Mexican artist Chavis Marmol, 42, carved a giant head from stone, inspired by the carvings of the Olmec people, and then lowered it onto a used Tesla 3 using a crane, France24 reported.

The art installation, in a vacant lot in Mexico City, was intended to "troll Elon Musk," said the artist.

"Look what I do to your lousy car with this wonderful head. This is bigger than you and the rampant technologies."

Tesla has recently announced a plan to build a factory in northern Mexico.

"It's the wonderful thing about art, it allows you these atrocities," said Marmol. [France24, 3/14/2024]
