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.
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.
“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.
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.
The world is being raped and burned by these assholes. If the only thing I can do is to contribute to being a momentary irritant to one of them then so be it.
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 😅.
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
Maybe they have employees to pay and fucking with billionaires and the right is something that desperately needs organization and enactment by people with lots of outreach but is ultimately up to all of us working together?
"need to" and "intelligent business strategy" don't have to be the same thing.
Sure, they could just find it themselves with the money that SpaceX paid them for fucking yo their land. Or they could do that while also offering people to pay a pittance to join in the fun and further dig the knife into Elon to show how many people hate the sad little bitch with no friends. And, you know, the free publicity from making fun of said sad little bitch.
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.

Shame about their exclusive use of social media owned by another sad little billionaire bitch. But otherwise—great.

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.
DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 3d
Its not weird to use the platform that 90% of their customer base is on.
Its unfortunate, but not weird.

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

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

No it's not, annexed is the common term for when a town expands its borders. That's just what the word means.

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.
