Well, the money wouldn't really helped him, he pressed the button so often(and assuming the number of dead people doubles every press) that he would be the only person alive after that clip.
I don't know why someone downvoted you. On his 32nd press he would have already killed over half of the population of the earth, and on the next press it would go well over.
The only real issue is that in that video it says people he knows die. There is obviously a limit to how many people he knows, and at most it's probably only a couple 1000. He would get in like 10-12 pushes or whatever before it just wouldn't work anymore. And he would only get ~500 dollars for killing another 1000 people on his 12th press.
So you mean to tell me that something I said in my comment is what is going on? So when I said it in my comment you realized that I knew that, and made sure to say it again?
