artist Chavis Mármol dropped a gigantic Olmec head on a brand new Tesla

“My idea was to make a piece to troll Elon Musk. Look what I do to your lousy car with this wonderful head. This is bigger than you and the rampant technologies."

His comments come a year after the electric carmaker announced plans to build a huge factory in northern Mexico.

The 42-year old Marmol has never driven and only rides a bicycle.

Be a real shame if Musk entered an Olmec Temple and one of these fell on his head.

That would be horrible.

The Olmec Head might get broken.

Look it is correct to point out that he should have smashed a stolen Tesla

But also come on this could herald a wave of posting things being smashed beneath olmec heads and I support that

When we needed Olmec the most, he returned.

This sure seems an awful lot like when chuds bought keurigs to destroy them but about 1000x more expensive.

"I'm protesting this company by giving them 10s of thousands of dollars for their product" seems pretty ineffectual.

Especially when the cars are regularly destroying themselves.
