Elon Musk's 'Superfans' Fail To Catch Tesla CEO's Attention With Their $600k 'Elon Goat' Statue

Co-founders of the crypto token Elon Goat EGT/USD recently sent a 30-foot, 12,000-pound metal statue of Elon Musk to Tesla Austin headquarters. However, It appears that Musk is not impressed.

What Happened: The statue worth $600,000 depicts Musk's head juxtaposed with a goat's body that is riding a rocket. It also features a dog collar with a Dogecoin DOGE/USD token visible around Musk's neck.

EGT's founders, who refer to themselves as ‘Elon Superfans,’ said on their website that they were striving to accomplish "something no other crypto venture has ever achieved" to gain legitimacy and recognition for their venture by securing Musk's endorsement.

It seems that the goat monument has not impressed the billionaire. Musk did not acknowledge the statue on his Twitter handle yet.

“It seems Elon is testing us”, EGT said on Twitter.

Price Action: Doge is trading at $0.096, down 1.34% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro data.
