        He really pumped and dumped Softkey/TLC on Mattel. From $4.2B in 1999 to selling the whole thing off for $27.3M in 2000. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another one of his “ride the valuation wave” schemes.

          He has a perfect record of losing investor money. His O’Leary fund underperformed for years before it was sold off and shut down. He’s a nothing burger.

    Don’t ask what a data center can do for you, ask what YOU can do for a data center

      I grew up Mormon and have family in Utah. From what I’ve experienced with our current leader, their morals are all expendable for politics. The multiple affairs and way he talks about women should’ve been enough for them based on their beliefs but they still love him.

      They will do the same here. As long as rich people say it’s good, they’ll destroy their environment for them in the spirit of “prosperity”.

        Fair but they used to be violent AF and tribal. Weird because the Department of War just snubbed them by leaving them off the list of recognized “Christian” sects

    If the US had a long term vision and totally embraced renewable energy, it wouldn’t have this problem.

      It’d be better, but selling that much land for this bullshit is still unconscionable.

    They shouldn’t even be letting him breath. The debate should be do billionaires deserve to live. Fuck their data centers. Exterminate the enemy.

      Utah doesn’t, though, and that’s where he’s proposing building it.

      I’m actually slightly surprised that there’s still any part of Utah and non-Vegas Strip Nevada NOT owned by the Mormon church left tbh…

        Utah has lost more than you think, they just have the whole system rigged to their advantage and a good chunk of the populace willing to do anything for them. I wish they all realized how much these Christians in this movement hate them though. If they actually were to succeed in bringing themselves of any other targets they would go after Mormons instantly

    Kevin, if you shrank it to 90% the size of a normal penis you could make use of all that extra room in your underwear for it.

    One of the most obnoxious, punch-worthy pieces of human filth alive on the planet today. And that’s really saying something cuz he’s got some serious competition.

    Ah yes let’s continue to build water-hungry infrastructure in states like Arizona and Utah where the water just flows oh so freely. Maybe we can see if we can get data centre induced subsidence to make Salt Lake City further below sea level than New Orleans! Climate change challenge - who will win? Kevin O’Shetbag can host it.

    Utah is under a severe drought and is currently on fire. But yeah sure, let’s build a data center the size of manhattan that will use as much water and electricity as the whole fucking state.

    I’m gna laugh when these data centers get taken out by fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Because, you know, data centers are basically indestructible.
