Mass duplicate rare earth metals at a rate that would crash economies and make white goods and alternative energy sources actually cheaper than fossil fuels.

Then while the world's having an absolute fit trying to recover from that, I'd find a way to duplicate expensive and hard to make medicine till it's functionally worth less than the packaging it comes in.

Sounds cliche but I would have a massive animal sanctuary. Our domesticated animals shouldn't be left alone. They need us as much as we need them.

Free housing, healthcare, and education for everyone!

Just kidding. I'd dress up like a bat and beat up clowns.

Crash the rouble.

Just glitch infinite amounts of it and give it to everyone

Honestly Russia's central bank is already on it, it's just taking a moment to kick in.

Found and fully fund an activist think tank aimed exclusively at moving the Overton window left.

this already exists, it's called the stock market. largest international casino ever conceived, learn the rules and it's all the $ you could possibly want (scaling above the 1 million mark gets tricky, admittedly)

Fund my totally nonfictional company by commissioning professional online artists like Panda Paco or Reva the Scarf to make official portraits of all of us totally real people, starting with me, the head beaver.

That's probably the first thing I'd wanna do.

Use the hell out of it.
