A massive bust of Elon Musk has appeared in Utah's Arches National Park, drawing both curiosity and criticism from visitors. The sculpture, which features the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's likeness, was accompanied by a sign referencing 'DOGE cuts'—a nod to Musk's influence on the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The installation, seemingly unauthorized, has raised questions about its origins and intent. Park officials have not yet commented on whether the artwork will be removed or if it violates any regulations. Meanwhile, social media has erupted with speculation, with some praising the stunt as satire and others condemning it as an inappropriate intrusion into a protected natural space. This incident follows Musk's history of viral moments tied to Dogecoin, including his frequent tweets that have swayed the meme-inspired cryptocurrency's market value. Legal experts suggest that if the sculpture was placed without permission, those responsible could face fines for defacing federal land. The National Park Service is expected to address the situation in the coming days.
