"We can't leave the Dibiasky money on the table": the $140 trillion asteroid joke goes viral
iruletheworldmo · x · 2026-09-19
A viral tweet riffs on Don't Look Up, adopting the tech-CEO voice of the film's sequel satire: everyone worries about comet Dibiasky, "but it's filled with yttrium, terbium, osmium, and dysprosium, market value about $140 trillion... we can't just leave the Dibiasky money on the table." A sharp, shareable joke about monetizing catastrophe.
