There’s no way to reclaim anything, only lose money.

There’s no one to sell to and scraping would only hurt the people. Next time try to use your brain.

Sell to whom?

Premiums going up will hurt regular people more than Musk. Hurting your fellow countrymen is such a lefty thing to do…

There are two ways of looking at it.

1. The time machine is using itself as a point of reference to comply with general relativity. The only way to time travel is to move forward in time. The way to move through time would be to move a lot faster than the Earth, so that every minute for you inside the time machine would equal to many years for earthlings. And if you’re moving that fast you’ll fly away from Earth.
2. The time machine somehow has a knowledge of the whole universe, this way a Newtonian model applies and an absolute point of reference exists. That allows unrestricted travel both forwards and backwards in time, but that also means that the Earth will inevitably move from under the machine to follow its path across the universe.

No matter how you twist it you’ll end up all alone in space. You need a machine which can move through both time and space at the same time.

What you’re describing is a machine which moves both in time and space. A machine which only moves in time would result in this meme no matter how you twist it.

Well, if you consider only Africa and the Middle East to be “global South”, then maybe. But I’d say South Asia is also a part, has most of human population there and pretty much is aligned with Russia and China.
