TVBOY’s Latest Street Art Takes on Trump, Musk & Power

Street artist TVBOY is back with another striking political mural, this time taking aim at Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The artwork, titled Welcome to the Year of the Snake, is a satirical nod to Disney’s Robin Hood, with a clear message about power, manipulation, and ego.

A Familiar Villain: Trump as Prince John

The mural reimagines Trump as Prince John, the cowardly and petulant lion from the classic Disney film. Dressed in his signature red and white royal robe and golden crown, he sits in a sulking pose, sucking his thumb—a clear jab at his childish and narcissistic tendencies. In Robin Hood, Prince John is known for his greed, incompetence, and obsession with power, making him an apt comparison for the former U.S. president.

Elon Musk as Sir Hiss: The Scheming Snake

Beside Trump, a green snake with Elon Musk’s face slithers into the scene. Dressed in a black cloak like an executioner, the snake channels Sir Hiss, Prince John’s manipulative advisor in Robin Hood. In the film, Sir Hiss whispers suggestions into Prince John’s ear, fueling his delusions of grandeur—much like the influence some believe Musk has over modern discourse and digital power structures.

Street Art with a Bite

The bold, dripping green text above the figures reads: “WELCOME TO THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE!” This could be a reference to the Chinese zodiac, where the snake symbolizes intelligence, cunning, and sometimes deception. Or it could be TVBOY’s way of warning us about the figures who dominate headlines and wield influence in unpredictable ways.
