It's two billion, but yes, it's a parody. First this is literally the only thing on the site. There are some others at the bottom but if you try to click on them or really almost anything else it says:
The volume of pledges has overwhelmed our system and we’re unable to process your pledge at this time. We’re attempting to fix the problem as quickly as possible but half our developers have taken advantage of our unlimited vacation policy to finish their LED mindfulness art car.

The "quarter mile stretch of wall all to your own" reward already has over 16k backers. How are they planning to deliver when the wall is only 300 miles?
