Here's an idea, and I'm just spitballing here... What if for every 1 Million dollars of net worth you have, you have to rub down your genitals with fresh stinging nettles for 1 minute?

Elon would have to do it for about 2 years

This highlights a major flaw with the idea, because that's not nearly long enough

Yeah, it's not a really practical idea anyway. There are diminishing returns, after the 20th minute it wouldn't be any worse and your body might actually start to get accustomed to the sensation.

I would suggest they have to do it once a day for five minutes contact per million dollars and they have to cycle between stinging nettles, poison ivy and wild parsnip.

And everything should be broadcasted live.
