Within hours he’d thrown up a website - a janky, one-hour job, by his own admission - and by Sunday, 36,000 “founding patrons” had pledged nearly $23 million, crashing his servers in the process.
$23m sounds huge until you remember airlines are basically boss fights with like 12 health bars and a second phase. still, crashing your own janky pledge site is kind of the most on-brand “we can run an airline” stress test lol
