      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.

      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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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.
