    All I’m learning from the last 10 years between musk and that orange fuck among others is that starting a cult is really the way to go…

    You end up with tons of money, those that could enforce repercussions are held hostage, and you get worshipers.

      Along the same lines, let’s not forget L. Ron Hubbard, who founded Scientology some years after telling a sci-fi writers’ convention that starting an actual cult would be a great way to make far more money off science fiction than just by writing it.
