SpaceX’s Starbase is getting a few monuments dedicated to Elon Musk. Not all will be flattering.

The Elon Musk bust is now one of the few monuments dedicated to the CEO that will be placed near SpaceX's Starbase complex.

Fans and critics of Elon Musk have shared plans to erect monuments dedicated to the CEO.

One statue — a bust of Musk — has already been placed near Starbase and was vandalized last year.

Lovers and haters are erecting monuments for their favorite tech billionaire, Elon Musk .

Just north of the US-Mexico Border, near Brownsville, Texas, sits Starbase, SpaceX's massive rocket launch and development site.

In 2025, the surrounding area became incorporated as the City of Starbase , with a population of more than 500 residents, though thousands of people work at the complex.

Recently, Starbase has turned into a locus of monuments tied to Musk and the achievements — or excesses, depending on your point of view — of his companies.

A French foundry group, Atelier Missor, shared photos on X last week, showing its progress in erecting a statue near the complex.

In a few days, Prometheus will stand 50 ft tall, holding high the torch of the West.

Prometheus is famously known as the titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to humanity.

Last year, Atelier Missor wrote on X that it wished to offer "a colossal titanium statue of Prometheus to Starbase," adding that "SpaceX makes humanity dream." The group has also publicly reached out to Musk about its plans.
