Billionaire Republican donor Larry Ellison just got a scathing message from protesters who pulled a daring stunt involving his megayacht.

The activist group Led By Donkeys stuck a giant banner reading “Trump Propagandist” onto the side of the tech mogul’s $160 million vessel while it was moored in the posh French Riviera.

Publicizing the spectacle in a Tuesday X post, the group wrote, “We tracked down the super yacht owned by the world’s sixth richest man. Larry Ellison won’t like what we did to it.”

Led By Donkeys, a British political group that first came together to protest Brexit in 2018, explained Ellison’s close ties to President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video that accompanied the post.

It ain't sleek - just a tricked out motel with a barge underneath.

I'm sure there are some good drugs on board, tho.
