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

    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.

    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?”

    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.

      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.

    He’s been saying he wants to do more live streams, too. Based on a past livestream he did, that’ll be fun for many people!

    👍.

    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

      Elon didn’t steal it, but SpaceX did trespass on it with construction equipment and left it trashed. They settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

        Sounds like they annexed it into a town, too. Seems like he’s trying pretty hard to steal it, if that’s the case.

          “Annexed” is an odd way for them to frame it. The property was previously outside of any incorporated cities. The city of Starbase was later incorporated and the property is in the area covered by the new city boundaries.

      The land was bulldozed, turned into a gravel lot and used as a construction depot. CAH sued, and just before trial SpaceX offered them a settlement which they accepted. The exact details were confidential, but the land was finally vacated by the trespassers, and a local landscaping company removed the literal tons of gravel that had been compacted into the soil and restored it to a natural looking state.

      Since they settled out of court, the case was dropped and the court didn’t say anything.

        So the land was bought from donations for a purpose? CAH sold the land and kept the profits? How is this not fraud?

          Yes, the land was bought with donations in an effort to protect it. What? No, at no point did they sell the land, not sure were you got that idea. The trespassers (SpaceX) vacated (took all their shit and left) the plot. It was then restored, as much as possible, to its previous state. They had hoped to get enough money to refund everyone who donated and keep the land, but their lawyers advised that the settlement offer of stopping trespassing and restoring the land was already as good as they were going to get in court. Sadly “restored” is the closest they could do to protecting it, at a high legal expense to themselves.
