Ida “Bjerkis” Bjerkeskaug from Horten has chosen to express her opinions about the U.S. president in a rather creative way.
On Facebook, she shared her latest artwork, which depicts Tesla founder and X owner Elon Musk being taken from behind by the American president.
Sharp-eyed art critics will also notice that the artist included a burning Pride flag in the background.
Elon Musk drew significant attention during Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, after performing a Nazi salute during the ceremony. This became the main talking point afterward, with many suggesting that perhaps he should be depicted as the one behind Trump.
She shared that some viewers commented the roles should have been reversed.
“Just give it some time, and Musk will surely be the one getting screwed. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll paint a new piece with the roles reversed,” she explained to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
The artist from Horten shared that she has always been interested in politics. The idea for the painting came to her while she was in the U.S. during Trump’s first election campaign in 2016 when he was running against Hillary Clinton.
“That’s when I first encountered Trump supporters. I was just fascinated by how brainwashed people could be,” she said.
After posting the painting on social media, the feedback has been anything but quiet.
“There have been people saying I wouldn’t have dared paint this if it were about Joe Biden. And some have made comments targeting me as a woman, like implying I personally enjoy that position,” she explained.
“I take it in stride and feel even more inspired. Let’s just say the comments mostly come from older men who likely haven’t had much luck with women,” she said, laughing.
Despite the backlash, she was surprised by how many people wanted to buy the painting.
“I didn’t plan to sell it, but 24 hours after posting it on social media, several people have placed bids. It started at 3,500 NOK.” The bidding ended up at 25,000 NOK.
Inspired by the reactions to her first piece, Bjerkeskaug revealed that her next artwork will be inspired by Elon Musk’s salute.

I suspect that that picture is showing what is really going on with Trump and Musk. He shows Musk way more affection than I ever saw him show his wife, and he is acting like a new lover tryin to do anything not to make Musk mad, and to keep his man Musk.. I believe they are in a sexual relationship for sure.
