Big deal. Some tech company slipped him a bunch of earbuds to kiss his ass. One of those houses is probably full of all the free shit that corporations send him.

He could have given each neighbor a new SUV, but instead he gave them some old promotional earbuds from some Facebook managers' meeting.

Read it as "grifted", I think my subconscious is trying to say something... Anyway, trying to solve with money a problem you do not understand nor care about seems on brand.

I bet he just wanted to slip a listening device into their homes to hear what they say about him.

Breaking zoning codes to build bunkers? WTF. Are the Russian Oligarchs, Chinese CCP and PLA involved in his business activities?

I rented a house with some friends while at University... come to find out, the reason the owner rented it to us was because the neighbor was doing extensive renovations for 16 months... at 12 months the landlord "let us" switch to a month to month lease, then when the renovations completed she served us notice to vacate within 3 weeks.
