I couldn’t find the Buy button for “Solve world hunger” so I quit

I bought all ~45,000 McDonald's franchises and my head canon is those are all now free food banks for all.

I bought 2000 yachts and ships, those are all mobile medical, food, water supplies for any country or city in need.

I bought like 1 million homes. All are now free housing for anyone that can't afford rent.

I bought a ton of stadiums and aircraft carriers. Those are now the supply hubs for my world hunger and clean water and food for all venture.

And I still had over half my starting money left. So I bought a ton more shit. But realistically I could have funded that humanitarian empire for the next century without even bothering to raise money or get donations.

That's how I justified it.

Oh, and I did buy 2 houses and 2 Lambos, for me, as a treat. But the rest went to humanity.

But 76 and 6 B2 bombers.

No schools or hospitals though.

I opted for 76 carriers, 2 NFL stadiums and just 1 B2 bomber. Think I should give up one of the stadiums for a Las Vegas Sphere? 🤔

Hi, I'm Elon Musk.

I bought 10 aircraft carriers and 100 B2 Bombers

Y'know for self defense.

10 LV Spheres for propaganda via Xitter.

100 skyscrapers to house and work (to death) my loyal subjects.

100 cruise ships as breeding grounds from which Ill grow for my genetically superior labour force.

4 Superyachts as my pied á terre, so to speak. 1 private jet to ferry between them. And, a fleet of ten helicopters to journey over ground to them.

3000 tanks for crowd control and personal security.

And the remaining $364.795 B are to feed, clothe, and fuel this small garrison nation — about 8 million of the best people — I've invented. That said, there's just one problem. I have all this capacity to make Universal High Income. But, this planet is too hot, the storms are too large, the food is not growing, the people outside my fief are angry, and I can't get a decent lab-grown cheezeburger anywhere.

So, if the rest of you would kindly fuck off to Mars on these rockets you'll build and pay for, the rest of us can enjoy the fruits of your stolen labours.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Game where you get Elon money for a good cause, which you can get by beating him up. Every punch is 1000 for the poor. You finish the game when he's broke.

It's a team effort. Massive multiplayer online co-op bashing game.

I highly doubt you could even win. I’m sure he makes more per second than you could punch out of him

Depending on who you ask, you’d have to hit him a billion times to win. That’s way to spongey, imo.

You can get upgrades. Hit him with starlink satalites to get double bonusses. Run him over with a tesla for triple bonusses. Send him on a starship crash course to mars for a jackpot.

Give away 99.5% of the money on good things like solving world hunger etc. It would be gone in short order.

Spend and giving are different. Spending implies a specific thing in return, giving has less strings attached. See NGOs as an example of how "giving" money quickly can become it's own corruption.

This is why it is impossible to spend this much money and one of many reasons why millionaires over $10mil are immoral and should not exist.

I like that the Big Mac looks like what you actually get, not the unrealistically perfect one you see in ads.

Why not just start a bridge building company, identify the top 100 most urgent rural bridges, build them, and then find the next hundred and keep going?

Tried, but didn’t like not doing crime. Spend Elon's Money required not buying ketamine. Just couldn’t do it.

In reality it would be much easier. He's rich only on paper, everything is locked in extremely overvalued shitx and telsa stocks. If he dumps them, the value will crater and he'll be homeless

You're right that most of his wealth is on paper, but you could wipe out 99.99% of Elon's wealth and he'd still have 100 million dollars. He's not going to be homeless.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
