This belongs in the “random silly grins” thread, seeing there doesn’t seem to be a “delusional idiots” thread.
I must admit though, this is some of the best marketing wank I’ve read in years.
It’s also interesting for me from a technical standpoint. I can’t even watch movies featuring installations like this without thinking about how one would realise such a project in real life and how much it would cost.
Too bad the companies and their clients, even with all the showing off involved, are usually pretty discreet about the details that really matter - the two weeks trying out period would be perfect to really test a bling bunker by sealing it off hermetically from the outside and cutting off all external power, comms and water lines. Ah well.
In all fairness, full style points to Mark Zuckerberg, though. Credid where credid is due. Given who he is and what he does and building his bunker on an Hawai’ian island - actual volcanic lair of an evil fucker bent on world domination! Well done!
To top this, Hugo Drax Elon the Impregnator needs to get his act together and build a space station. Technically, a Starship that doesn’t explode during launch and goes into orbit (and stays there) would fulfill the requirements. And if it doesn’t have to land, no need to worry about the tiles of the heat shield falling off during descent! Win-win!
And to top that, Dr. Evil Jeff “First, we take Venice” Bezos needs to build a Moon base. Accept no substitutes! He’s got the LEM, he’s got the rockets that almost make it into orbit - he’ll get there! And with Amazon SuperPremiumPrime™ resupply won’t be an issue. What’s divorce law on the Moon like, I wonder.

Oligarchs are an existential threat to every industry, but film seems to be in particular trouble these days. The latest who and why? Jeff Bezos , whose Amazon empire bought complete creative control of the James Bond franchise earlier this year. According to a new report published by Rob Shuter ’s #ShuterScoop (a Substack newsletter), the newly remarried billionaire is campaigning for his blushing bride, Lauren Sánchez , to be the next Bond girl.
