It's a project by an Australian team, so one would assume two things:

  1. It's in Australian Dollars.
  2. Australia has experienced severe hyperinflation overnight (or earlier today, for many of us reading this)

Can I get some sauce for #2? News says nothing of it

It was a joke.

I think it has something to do with Taylor Swift

It all has to do with Taytay Swizzle. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! She will be crowned Empress of the World by chief Illuminatus Warren Buffet and the antiChrist Catholic puppet Joe Biden during the Super Bowl halftime show! Only Trump and Dildoboy Nugent can save us!!! /s

The only source is the absolutely bonkers price -- that's why it's an assumption.

In all seriousness, if I were to release open source hardware and software, I'd charge a price like that to ensure that my time would be reasonably compensated for what's clearly going to involve small production batches of hand-built-in-the-first-world items.

What hyper inflation? I think you need to check your sources mate.
