Controversial Protest as Activist Group Targets Tech Mogul Larry Ellison's Superyacht 'Musashi'

March 24 saw a daring move as a group of activists from the organization Led By Donkeys staged a protest with a surprising target: Larry Ellison’s superyacht, the Musashi. Approaching by speedboat while the yacht was docked and unsuspecting on the French Riviera, the audacious protesters emblazoned the hull with large lettering, effectively ‘renaming’ the yacht as ‘The Trump Propagandist.’ Quick to share their exploits with the world, Led By Donkeys filmed their actions, disseminating the footage across multiple social media platforms. Unsurprisingly, caught in the fast and furious streams of online chatter, the news of their bold demonstration quickly traveled the globe.

Ellison’s rise to prominence in the world of tech and media hasn’t gone unnoticed. With the wealth and influence he’s accumulated, he’s brokered deals and garnered positions that have stirred up controversy. The Ellison family expansion into media, their control over TikTok’s American user base, and their quest to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery are all contributing factors that sparked the recent action by the activist group.

Led By Donkeys, active since 2018, are no strangers to controversy. Their oeuvre of protests includes projecting images of Trump and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle during Trump’s UK state visit, a stunt that led to arrests of members of the group. With their latest audacious action against Ellison under their belt, it leaves us pondering the question - Who’s next on their list?
