I love that a guy with the cartoonishly evil sounding name “Wayne Borg” is also cartoonishly evil.

Not surprising
Someone should be held accountable for the deaths
I first came across Neom when I found some of their architecture ideas on YouTube, the mocks are impressive and very sci fi, essentially just architecture p.orn for enthusiasts
But in real life, you know some of these ideas are unattainable and will cost some human lives and too much money
Even if they are successfully built, the patrons will be the ultra rich and not for plebs like us

To call it a “sustainable paradise” when it is anything but yet is giving them a lot more credibility than they deserve.
The whole thing is a giant waste of money and an excuse for architects and designers to drain the royal coffers and move on. It’s always been a marketing stunt.

Mark Cuban is the exception to the rule.
“But sir, hundred of people will die”
“Thousands”
Same, man… Same.
