SpaceX’s Starbase is getting a few monuments dedicated to Elon Musk. Not all will be flattering.
Fans and critics of Elon Musk have shared plans to erect a monument dedicated to the CEO near SpaceX's Starbase complex.
SpaceX's Starbase, a massive rocket launch and development site near Brownsville, Texas, is becoming a focal point for monuments honoring Elon Musk. The area became incorporated as the City of Starbase in 2025, with a population of over 500 residents and thousands working at the complex. One statue, a bust of Musk, has already been placed near the complex but was vandalized last year.
A French foundry group, Atelier Missor, is erecting a 50-foot tall statue of Prometheus, a Greek mythological figure known for stealing fire from Zeus and giving it to humanity. The group aims to symbolize the human spirit of progress and achievement, praising SpaceX for inspiring dreams. Another monument, commissioned by the raunchy card game company Cards Against Humanity, seeks to "f—k with Elon Musk" due to the company's land dispute with SpaceX over land bought for border wall construction and the negative environmental impact of SpaceX's activities at Starbase.
