Maezawa reportedly explained in a YouTube video that the winners would be chosen randomly and that the contest was a “serious social experiment,” testing whether this money would make recipients happier. In follow up tweets, he said winners would be messaged directly on the social media platform next week.
In his most recent tweet, Maezawa hinted he was thinking of taking the experiment global, asking if there were any groups or people “anywhere in the world” who would like to try something similar within their community or region “to try and change their society too.”
Are there any groups or people, not just in Japan but anywhere in the world, who would like to try a similar experiment within their communities/region? Who would like to try and change their society too?
