If I had Elon money, I'd invest in green energy technologies and regreening forests, along with public housing and theblike. I'd treat GoFundMe's as a hobby, spending a night just paying out in full their entire website completely for anything that didn't look like a total scam.

However, once a year, I would get loving hedonistic. I mean like a totally shameless orgy of drugs, alcohol and consensual sex for 24 hours straight. The kind of mansion-wide party that would make the Romans step back and say "Holy poo poo, take it down a notch :stonklol:"

Caligula did those, and people also died at his, and he got those reactions even back then.

What I'm saying is, you'll need a gimmick that only untold fortunes can arrange. Something like, "buck-wild orgy on a literal sunken ship, sitting under 10 meters of water on a shallow sea floor." Undersea speakers blasting Crab Rave is optional.

See, this is what I'm talking about. I'd respect him so much more if he wore gothic industrial and built a smart-phone attachment so he could wear it on his arm and type into it like a loving duel disc. You have all the money in the world why aren't you having fun. Why aren't you playing, you won.

because then only some people into the same poo poo would know about his antics.

by buying up not just the cosplay convention, but also the town square and the whole loving rest of the city he can insert himself into everything that's going on. You can't tune him out. You can't ignore him. His stupid ugly face will scroll into your feed every few seconds. You'll hear stories about him every day, you'll love him, you'll adore him, you'll laugh at his jokes or he'll use his own-everything powers to ruin your day with anything from petty HOA Karen poo poo to having his howling sycophant army swarm and brigade whatever you care about. And of course he can straight up exile you for the smallest offense.

Is it possible that winning capitalism means you become its slave?

I think buying twitter and utterly destroying it is in fact a perfect move for a hyper-narcissistic supervillain. If you can burn that much cash and not care about it, I can scarcely think of any other thing to do that would be quite that satisfactory.

Honestly the fact that he's trying to prove a point from three decades ago with the whole "X"/everything app deal kinda is along all these lines. It's just that Elon Musk is fundamentally kinda lame so the best he can come up with for his "rich enough to do literally anything" money is try to prove that actually his dumbass business idea that got him kicked out of paypal was a good idea all along.

Whatever. Not because I'm going to be putting my right hand over my shoulder anytime soon but I just want to know how Nazi it really is.

I wouldn’t say they’re Nazi ads, just increasingly the sort of ads that can be described as “bottom of the barrel”. Half the poo poo that gets promoted straight up looks like scams and the other half is crypto poo poo…which is also a scam.
