Also in the U.S.: People on the internet have crowdfunded almost $2,800 to buy billionaire Elon Musk, who owns at least five mansions, a new couch. More than 200 people donated money, far exceeding the $1,000 of the GoFundMe campaign, to get Musk a new couch after it was revealed the incredibly rich CEO of SpaceX and Tesla 3 had been sleeping on a narrow, uncomfortable-looking three-seater in a conference room at a Tesla factory in Fremont, California. "When things get really intense, I don't have time to go home and shower and change, so I just sleep here," Musk told CBS News. A California man named Ben Sullins started the GoFundMe campaign for Musk, who is worth $19.2 billion, per Forbes. As a community, we cannot let this stand, Sullins wrote. Let's band together to buy Elon a new couch to sleep on! Sullins also stipulated that if Musk refuses the money for a couch fund, he will donate the cash to charity. The status of this has changed since publication: 413 people have chosen to donate $5,381 to Elon Musk's couch fund. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:899878464] in People are...
