Border Report – ‘Deny, Defend, Depose’: Elon Musk mural vandalized in downtown Brownsville

Posted on February 5, 2025

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A downtown Brownsville mural of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been vandalized.

The mural outside of Los Elizondos was vandalized with “Deny, Defend, Depose” and an anarchist symbol on Elon’s face.

“Deny, Defend, Depose” are words synonymous with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson after the saying was found on bullet shell casings at the crime scene.

As of Tuesday morning, the Brownsville Police Department has not received any reports on the vandalism and no arrests have been made.
