By now, I'm sure everyone around here knows about the absolute glory that is this: Here's how I think it went down... Elon Musk bored on a Friday night. Smokes a big fat bowl. Heads to his 80's movie room, grabs his VHS copy of Alien, and pops it into the VCR. "Dude... the only thing that can kill that shit is fire... we need to save humanity" Grabs phone... calls his Executive Assistant... "Hey, Maurice... we need to sell flamethrowers... yes, flamethrowers... no, I'm not drunk... flamethrowers. We have to kill the xenomorphs. FUCKING FLAME THROWERS. JUST DO IT" *click* Smokes another big fat bowl, now Aliens are freaking him out... he's got to mellow out. Grabs Heavy Metal, pops it into the VCR. Cranks the tunes, and watches the intro... Giggles, and thinks to himself, "hehe, that's pretty fucking cool... Love me some Radar Rider... woah... wait! holy shit, dude! I could actually DO that! Hahahaha! Where'd I put my phone?" "Hey... Maurice... Musky here again... my car... I want to drop it out of a rocket. What? Really? You think they'd freak? Huh... yeah... wait a sec... Mars! Send it to Mars! Those fuckers can't say shit about that... YES. MARS. Just fucking do it. I expect a plan by Monday..." *click* The rest is history.

Can’t decide which answer I like better, honestly probably Peter’s: Truthfully, I would probably fund some charities that I care about, donate some money to some struggling school system so they name their gym after me, and just live quietly and peacefully in the middle of nowhere. I basically do those things now, just on a much smaller scale. Or I’d become a nouveau riche stereotype like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack and try to find the upper limit of vulgar consumerism.
I don't really follow what billionaires are doing, so I'll add a few examples living the lifestyle of the not-so-rich and famous. Focus: http://svcrystalblues.blogspot.com/2017/12/a-quiet-achiever-sailing-alone-around.html That guy, Sean, doesn't have a lot of money. Very little, in fact. But, He's 9/10 around the world on an engine-less, 27 foot sailboat, and tries to live on a dollar a day. That is fucking cool. He truly said fuck it and left. Alt-focus: There is a double-wide trailer in my home town. They have his and hers Chrysler PT cruisers, both with flames, sitting in the driveway, next to an old beetle painted like the General Lee. That is enormously fucking stupid.
I think Dan Bilzerian encompasses what I’d do with fuck you money. Shoot guns, gamble, pay instagram prostitutes to fuck you. Fuck the haters it’d never get boring.
If I had fuck you money I'd buy a massive ranch in the middle of nowhere, set it up with solar panels, a well, green house etc. so I was off the grid and had a proper homestead. Then I'd high fence it all, buy a shitload of exotic animals and all of the guns and ammo I wanted. The only people who'd ever hear from me would be the ones who worked at the nearest feed store, sporting goods store, and hardware store.
Not sure if you're aware, but gambling poorly and paying women for sex is well within reach, even on a modest budget
Yea, he puts himself out there as this rich, poker playing playboy. But I saw a reddit post of someone who allegedly knew him and he’s really just a gambling-addicted trust funder who loses more than he wins and pays the girls in his Instagram posts to pose with him. He got his money cause his father was ripping people off and went to jail. I loved listening to Dakota Meyer shit on him for his Vegas nonsense.
I found his “I made my own money” claim hilarious. No, he’s never won more than a four-digit payout in poker, making him terrible at it. He made his money from his dad claiming false bankruptcy for years so his dirty assets wouldn’t get seized. He seems to only semi-remember that.
