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?

๐ญi can't afford 80 aircraft carriers
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? ๐ค
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 รก 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 โ about 8 million of the best people โ 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?
Hey, that was my strategy in red alert 2!
