Spend Elon’s Money

PR Campaign
Thursday 8th October, 2026

Neal.fun created an interactive game that gives players a virtual trillion dollars to spend on everything from Big Macs to cruise ships. The hook is simple and revealing: even buying thousands of expensive items barely makes a dent, turning an abstract fortune into something people can play with and understand.

Why it worked: It converted an abstract number into a tactile, time-sucking simulator, creating visceral scale and headline-friendly screenshots of absurd purchases.

The lesson: Consider turning an invisible metric into an interactive calculator or slider that outputs jaw-dropping, screenshot-ready comparisons users can share.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?
