Wonβt be specific, but certain parts of Washington DC and Florida would be a crater.

Let's just say you won't have to worry about billionaires and healthcare profiteers anymore
Heyyyy, I was going to say that!
Destroy all nukes, Luigi the system of money and power annnnnnnnnnd speed build a train system in the US.
I'd repair the bikes of people with broken bikes who need their bike fixed so they can get on their repaired bikes and cycle off on their bike.
Bike
If there was such a demihuman bike god, I would ride my bicycle more often. I just don't want to have to maintain it and waste time of my life again because some dumbass broke a beer bottle on the street.
Republicans would be in trouble, and so would certain evil leaders.
Fly into space and reverse the Earthβs rotation. This way we travel back in time. I will the use my knowledge of the future to become like Lex Luthor.
Use your Lex Luthor wealth to eliminate inequality, right? insert padme face

I'll finish my house, clear out the old tree debris, and complete all the physical work I've planned for years to come.
Possibly a world tour of grabbing billionaires and far right politicians, Bibi, Putin, Trump, Le Pen, Musk, Murdoch and all the likes, showing them the messes and human suffering they helped creating and hurling them into space or something.
That's a pretty good starting list. I don't know that I'd waste time trying to show them anything; just go straight to disposal.
I, too, was thinking "murder." It solves only a sort term problem though. Within a few years, you'd just have a new batch.
The system is broken. Capitalism as we practice it is broken; our political systems are broken (some more than others). That won't be fixed by DXing a bunch of oligarchs.
After the first 12 hours, as chaos is setting in, release a video demanding that all heads of state sign an agreement to limit the wealth of legal entities worldwide, something similar to the existing agreement on minimum 15% tax for corporations. However, this is a wealth-based tax, not income based.
Set minimum limits, e.g.
- No single individual may own or control more than 0.01% of the world's wealth (0.01% would currently equal around USD 40-50 billion).
- No family may collectively own or control more than 0.05% of the world's wealth (think the Saudi Royal family).
- Similarly no company's market capitalisation may exceed 0.05% of the world's wealth.
If their annual tax submission determines that they exceed those limits, they have 6-12 months to reduce their wealth. Companies can achieve this through splitting the company into smaller legal entities. Individuals may make charitable donations (anywhere in the world) but only to organisations that they can prove they and their family have no financial ties to. Also, the value of any non-profit organisations that they manage will count to wealth controlled by them/their families, to limit options for simply shuffling wealth around.
If they don't comply, the remainder is 100% taxable, with the tax collected globally based on the location of their wealth. I.e. if they have money sitting in 3 countries, each country can sieze their proportional share of the wealth in that country.
Any head of state that doesn't comply within 12 hours is added to the hit list. After the first few heads of state drop, the rest will comply quickly.
Most heads of state of western democracies do not have the authority to enact such measures, much less in so short a deadline. And their political opponents will simply drag their feet on any approval process and let you eliminate a rival. Most of the billionaires live in countries without a dictator (quite yet, anyway) who could comply, even if they wanted to.

You could show Musky what it's really like to live on Mars
Vanquish evil. There's quite the list at the moment.
Destroy every factory making glue traps, every fur farm, Palantir, NGO group and the like and maybe tunneling through K Street in DC at high speed
I would create my own Groundhog Day set up. Start learning task A. After 47 hours, fly around the earth to rewind time. Learn for another 47 hours. Repeat process. Learn infinity tasks and become a master at everything. On the last loop win the heart of Andie MacDowell.
Does Superman not age?
Also, sounds kinda lonely

Try to fly through these god damn rings
Get a little area where I would actually want to live.
Carve out mountains to channel water to more areas, basically accelerate what Egypt is doing to spread the green lush from the Nile River.
Make ideal spots for some cities, get a lot of gold out of the ground to prepare to buy the land
Pour all the foundations of the buildings, build lines of rails for public transit and trains. Make sewer system and areas to transport water
Just make it super easier for people to come and build/live there, and if I own it all I can avoid big corporations coming and pushing out growing businesses
Relocate anyone with a net worth of >$500 mil to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Wipe the DC legislature off the map. Excepting aoc of course
Bring my family to safety, destroy every US or proxy owned oilfield, report to marshal kim jong un for further instructions
Probably I don't notice the whole time and go along with my standard routine.
Making the mother of all power vacuums Jack, can't fret over each billionaire!
Figure out if Iβd be more haunted by my actions as a temporary world superpower, and watching the status quo return very quickly afterward, or more haunted by all the things I could have done and didnβt. Sit pondering that for 48 hours.
Have to be honest here throwing right wingers into the sun I'll sleep well
Elon gets his dream of going to Mars. I'd put him in a cybertruck and chuck him in the general direction.
