I'm interested in symbols for utilitarian purposes, i.e. communication and artistic design. When some symbolic meanings start to get coopted, like rainbows, it ticks me off, it is taking something away from everyone and limiting it to a few. Elon probably is sending a message: that's a purpose of costumes. But is it "I am the devil's champion"? I would say not, if the evidence is a ram's head.
