The street artist behind the viral “anti-elon mosque”

The street artist Winston Tseng was behind a musk display of anti-eloons, which led to a viral intoxication when it was built into a mile of the White House in various areas of the sidewalk two weeks ago. The advertisement that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) satirically attributed was “Help Elon Elon” and showed a large red x crossing of an illustration of Musk that carries out the Nazi greeting.

“In the spirit of transparency, I should disclose that USAD paid me 69 million USD (in condoms) for this ad me HyperallergicRiffing about Musk's misunderstanding of the USA for international HIV prevention and treatment.

Tseng's use of the USA -Logos was apparently convincing enough that thousands had taken over to the North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, who shared a video of herself before the fake display in a “government box” in the 400 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Lambend It for “targeting of individuals” and said: “It is better not financed by [USAID] Or support from them! “

“The president asks serious questions about where taxpayers go and whether it is the best and highest use,” continued Tillis and praised Muschus and Trump because he “does these taxpayers correct”.

Tillis' Post collected over 74,000 likes to X and arranged around 6,000 users comments that were enough for the security of Musk and demanded legal steps to accelerate the advertisement as Another example of “waste our money”.

Tilli's answer was nothing unusual for Tseng who found that he thinks “Most of the outrage is performative, and people don't really care when they find that it is only a random artist.”

“They would rather pretend that it was out of 'the evil democrats' or the” deep state “,” he continued. “Right-wing influencers and media outlets use my work to hire the engagement farm, and this is everything Senator Tillis is trying. My work attracts this increasing enthusiasm and anger. “

The artist has a long history of parody advertising campaigns and wheat paste that satirize current events and social issues. Also no company is essential- has luxury and retail brands, the Christian church, sports teams, Netflix, Airbnb, Bluesky, McDonald's, Pornhub, Planned Parenthood, Target and even used Sesame road as vehicles for his political punch lines.

“The ad takeover in trade rooms usually only last a few more days, but there were some that somehow stayed for weeks,” said Tseng. “Wheat pies can be lived even shorter, generally less than one day.”

All of this is to be said that the display was not only removed from the 400 Massachusetts Avenue NW Spot, but the entire structure itself has now disappeared.
