I love how he got minorly blocked from literally chiseling his name into the Kennedy Center, so now he's talking about demoing the whole thing. True abuser mentality - if I can't have it, nobody can have it.

After a bit of searching, it's from Spider-Man Noir (2025) #2.
Yeah that sounds right. He did the same shit in 2016 and 2020, because he apparently can't stop shoving his entire fucking foot in his mouth the second he opens it on a hot mic.
Doesn't matter, because he's leasing it from a company he controls. Assuming he decides to forgive the loan (which he will), he's effectively just giving his company $700k in election funds scot-free.
I mean, technically they weren't wrong.
Even in the US, a lot of TOS/T&Cs are unenforceable. It's harder to get a judge to say it, but there's case law holding a LOT of these as useless - and your point would also almost certainly come up even in a civil suit, let alone a criminal trial.

If you want slightly easier, you could always just make sure Thomas Midgley Jr never works in chemical engineering. Saves humanity from both leaded gasoline and CFCs, theoretically.
See, that's the thing these guys don't want to understand. There could be a thousand generational talents like that "right fucking now*, who have these enormous gifts and won't ever be able to realize them because they gotta go to their third job so they don't fall behind on rent AGAIN.
Your Uber driver might be a virtuosic violin player who's never realized it because he's never had the opportunity to try. The cashier at Taco Bell might be an amazing painter, who can't afford to paint because every last cent has to go to one bill or another. That kid in Ghana you're watching on the TV charity commercial might be the next talent in rocketry or physics or poetry or any of a dozen other fields if they had a shot.
No no, that's too slow and slow is expensive. Time is money and we have to move faster and break more things in order to disrupt the market. /s
That's still only $360b. We could do that with only a portion of the wealth of ONE MAN.
