Russian luxury accessory brand Caviar is known for taking consumer electronic items—mostly phones—and adding expensive materials before selling them for four- or five-figure sums. Its latest line is the Visionaries collection, which includes a bust of Elon Musk along with an iPhone 13 that are both made from a melted-down Tesla.
Caviar’s Visionaries collection pays
tribute to tech luminaries Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and Alibaba Group
co-founder/former executive chairman Jack Ma. In the case of the SpaceX
billionaire, the company has created 27 Musk busts.
The busts aren’t instantly recognizable as
the billionaire. Still, they do come with a nice black marble base with a
double gold-plated plaque bearing Musk’s name, thereby stopping people asking,
“who’s that supposed to be?”
The main part of the bust is made from the
melted metal sections of a Tesla Model 3, including the hood, doors, and
panels, which means you’ll be paying US$ 3,220 for the privilege of having the
crypto lover, and occasional hater, smirking at you all day.
For those who can’t get enough of
Musk-related products, Caviar is also selling the Tesla Electro, an iPhone 13
Pro that also includes melted-down Tesla parts. Buyers get to admire a portrait
of Musk on the back along with the Tesla logo and cars. The Tesla Electro is
limited to 99 pieces and sells for US$ 6,760, or just over the price of two Elon
Musk busts.
