- Summary: «Let me tell you about a mural in Australia that got attention for reasons far different than the artist likely intended. It was a mural of Elon Musk pointing at Doge, the Shiba Inu meme.» [...] It's not clear what brought the mural into existence, but days after Musk's Hitler-salute on national TV, the mural was first subtly altered to add what could have been a shadow under Musk's nose but was also clearly a Hitler-mustache, and then was later more obviously defaced with hastily-sprayed words including "fascist", "boo", "loser", "Nazi cunt", and "Nazis fuck off" -- words reflecting the sentiments of many in Australia and worldwide.
