I thought the money was refunded

Also, tweet does not provide a source

it was in the comments apparently

dude's gonna get fuckin sued

@Beemann u should see the twitter comments...also she is a VA

Sued af

Maybe he used his own money.....

That’s deeply disappointing.

But sadly not unexpected.

doesn't matter, gofundme backs all claims. https://www.gofundme.com/c/safety/fraudulent-campaigns

also, its not like that picture of him in front of a boat is real

but would be cool to see him man that yacht from his wheelchair

the gofundme was started in december 2018

i think the real point is, he didn't spend every dime of his money on the wall. how committed is he really

@MrDJFlyHi
I'm throughly unimpressed with the story. Looks more like his "empire" collapsed and he used the money to essentially retire, then this wall thing came along and he jumped at the opportunity to put his face back on the cover; When reporters started snooping he hit back, wounded by getting torched in their own burn they tried to recover with sham conspiracy theories and spelling of iś shit.

Lol

This is dumb

what's the point in keeping other bodies in space pristine? There isn't life there to damage, there isn't property values to lower, you can't go on a nature hike there.

Some features look neat or something?

Who cares if we mine the entire asteroid belt away

Nothing has been mined yet and the guardian is already calling for protecting stuff. What gives.

so he's planning to go on a nature hike on mars. How about when he can pay for his way there he can go there and protest.

Yep. Like I get it, space objects are cool and all, but asteroids? They're fucking giant mostly featureless rocks in space that will do nothing unti they crash into a larger object.

I'd much rather turn them into cool ships.

They are more concerned about a theoritical endless supply of minerals crashing global markets

Going post-scarcity is bad now?

But it isn’t post scarcity.

It still takes resources to get to the ore.

The biggest hurdle to space economy that j see is the psychological and physiological effect that space would have on the human body.

Once we get fusion power running efficiently I don't think it would be too far fetched to cheaply transport goods to and from the asteroid belt. Then space travel would become exponentially cheaper.

@DJ_Anuz, amongst other options (that already exist) are drone mining systems; There's at least 4 outfits competing to be the first to do exactly that.

its not post-scarcity because only minerals could theoretically be obtained. You'd have imbalance where mineral wealth plummets and other scarce items would increase since they'd be the long pole in manufacturing. i.e. labor (until automation), energy, and renewables. Take for example hammers, you could make the head of a hammer cheap as dirt but still need the wood for the handle, energy to process it and transport it, and the labor to assemble it, transport it, and sale it
