Statue gets Tesla uniform This statue underwent a radical transformation this Wednesday (20th): the monument won a Tesla “uniform”, with the automaker’s name on the belt and the logo on the chest, as well as a mask in the shape of a painting with the face of the company’s CEO, Elon Musk. The reason? The local government is in a strong campaign for Tesla to build a factory in the city, a move that would generate more than 10,000 jobs and bring credits to the current administration. Tusla competes with Austin, Texas, for the possibility of housing a production line for electric cars – making the transformation of the Golden Driller into a fan of the company a very subtle irony. According to the newspaper The Star, there is no deadline for the location to be announced.
