Absurd ideas that have come out of the minds of billionaires
buy a lake
the british billionaire Joe Lewis purchased 10,000 hectares in Patagonia, Argentina, in the 1990s. The property includes Lago Escondido, a very famous spot in that region.
Eccentric? Yes. But so far so good. The problem is that there is a law in Argentina that says that all water sources in the country are public. Therefore, they cannot be sold.
To circumvent the law, the billionaire created a front company, Hidden Lake S.A. The legal fight continues and there are armed men in the region who prohibit tourists from visiting the lake.
What was to be an eccentricity turned into an arm wrestling that continues until today.
Future city
Ever heard of the NEON project? Created in 2021 by Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, the project aims to create the “City of the Future” in the country.
Among the ideas is a region called The Line, completely without roads and cars, with the intention that there is no carbon emission. In addition, the entire operation of the site will be with renewable energy.
It looks good, but only over the top. Although the plan is to house 9 million people, the space is only 34 km². With that, experts say it's something totally unthinkable.
In addition, it is known that residents of the region were expelled for the project to get off the ground. In other words, the “City of the Future” is not that sustainable.

Metaverse
Can we be honest? Flopped!
The idea of a fully digital environment that talks to the real world presented in 2021 is interesting. But it created more confusion than solutions.
Mark Zuckerberg, until today, has not explained properly what it is for, how to use it, nor has it defined which gadgets will work on Metaverse. Furthermore, much of what was promised has yet to be delivered.
However, perhaps we are being too hasty, because it is a new technology and subject to updating at any time. Let's follow!
xAI
He was missing from this list, wasn't he? The new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, announced in July this year its new venture: the company xAI. The goal? “Understanding Reality”.
Using Artificial intelligence (AI) the proposal is to create a “theory of everything for large neural networks”. With this, they would be able to understand the true nature of the universe.
Tesla's businessmen and shareholders, according to Elon Musk himself, did not think it was a good idea. We can only wait to see if Musk will really get this idea off the ground!
