I also hate fun

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

Because it's a chance to give Elon Musk shit?

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?

Those stupid duck duck go glasses were all over the place you can deal with this.

Because it's funny as hell and might make people think "lmao fuck Elon Musk. Maybe I'll buy a CAH deck"

For the same reason they crowdfunded The Hole.

Money

Yeah, why don’t they just quietly do it in private and not tell everybody about it?

Oh right.

"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.
