Only one time use.

Think of like world leaders, celebrities, ya know 😉. Are you gonna make them do some embarassing things, or illegal acts.

My answer:

spoiler

Take control of an NSA agent with access to the most powerful hacking tools, hack everyone’s phone, install a program that randomly have a popup at random intervals, the popup message says “I’m watching you”. This also tries to spread itself to any other phone it can connect to. Pure chaos 😈

Pretty sure I can do this in a minute, depending on how good the NSA tools are.

      Ooh - Jeff Bezos, and some way to irreversibly triple every non-executive Amazon worker/contractor’s pay, plus full healthcare. He can afford it and Amazon has enough direct and indirect workers that it’ll be felt throughout the country and the economy, and other companies will eventually be forced to compete, raising living standards for most people (and increasing tax revenue).

      End with a tweet supporting an inflation-linked living wage, Medicare for All, and UBI.

      Oh that’s a good one. Get the pope to pass a bull offering everyone salvation, past, present, future, fictional, factual, human, animal, spirit.

      They’d reverse it quickly, but it would be too late. It happened.

      And because the Holy See has ecclesiastic jurisdiction (as we all learned in Dogma ) then it would totally count. Heaven for everyone.

      And if there are angels in Wisconsin cursed by God and breaking divine infallibility unmakes the universe (it doesn’t) then the world would end.

        Vance doesn’t have Trumps cult so he wouldn’t be able to get away with any sort of Trump stuff. He’d try of course, but deffo get a lot more pushback.

          Vance is an opportunist and would cheerfully go along with the Project 2025 folks in order to be their figurehead and grab a bunch of loot. And they’d be happy to have him as a figurehead, so long as he does what they tell him to.

      The actual problem here is that it’s not clear when he will be near a gun to the point that someone could do that. You only have a minute. Is Trump within a minute’s range of a gun and would not be stopped by his security detail if he tried to use it?

        My thought process is: Turn to security guy, say, “gib gun plz, pres order”. Offhand I dunno if they’d comply, but worth a shot (see what i did there?)

      That’s sus af.

      Just set up a bitcoin wallet before you use the ability. Then take control of someone like musk, who definitely has some bitcoins, transfer all to your wallet.

      Untraceable! (ish)

        Very traceable, in fact. Do you know how bitcoins work?

        The issue is when you try to spend the bitcoins. You’ll eventually reveal some of your personal info when doing so, unless you are willing to work with the underground. Might go well, might end up with you in a ditch or a cell.

          Go to Bitcoin ATM

          Withdraw
