    Whatever they build, it needs a plaque that says “I built this monument before Elon killed himself”

    Statue should be based on this picture:

    Maybe by the same artist who did the Ronaldo statue:

    Plaque should be:

    “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”

    ‘Pedo Guy’ Elon Musk, 2012

    👍.

    A German artist’s collective called Political Beauty kind of did that stunt successfully. They rented a property next to Höcke’s private house (one of the heads of the fascist AfD). Then they build a holocaust memorial like the big one in Berlin, which Höcke now sees from his living room 😅.

    Edit: English news article about it

    I’m happy to say I’ve hated Elon Musk since long before he became a right wing Nazi, I hated him when he was Reddit’s hero.

      Same. He’s always been crazy. It’s sad so many people coultnd see through the lies, and it’s completely stupid people still believe his bullshit.

    If they’re after suggestions for designs, I say let grok create it. Add an extra level of spice and spectacle when it obviously ends up in court

    The only part I dislike about this, is that I can’t find on their website what portion of the $10 you pay will go to building something on the land.

    It’s like 2B2T where you build anything anywhere you want, people can grief and build over your ruins and nobody does anything about it.

      slightly richer guy

      The wealthiest co-founder Max Temkin has an estimated wealth of 250 million. Elon is now at almost 700 billion.

      Musk is 2800 times wealthier than Temkin. The word “slightly” is mathematically incorrect.

        Do we all look like we have 250 million net worth, in USD? Would be really lucky to have 500x less. I don’t think lifestyle changes much at this scale (besides “plz bro let me in to the island plz”).

      Well one of these rich guys got involved with the government to gut funding to millions of people who needed it and almost certainly stole data in the process.

      The other guy is against that guy. So for me its an easy choice.

      Well, unfortunately, most people are on these sad little bitch platforms, and outreach of this is important.

        I don’t mind too much about them using it for outreach but if that is the only platform they use then that’s a bit weird.

          Indeed. Maybe weird isn’t the right word, even.

          I completely understand using sad little bitch platforms for outreach, but do that in conjunction with better platforms then. Show people the alternative. Give a good example, if you’re so socially aware.
