    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

      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.

      need to crowd fund a comedy statue that will get them loads of publicity?

      Because it gives them loads more of publicity, also people loves to be involved if they have a chip in it.

      Why do people buy subscriptions for the biggest streamers, earning 10s of thousands of dollars in ad revenue each month? Because they want to be a part of it, they want to chip in to let the show go on
