At this level, the default answer is “no” to protect yourself…

…but we’ve been in touch throughout the years, internets, twitters, socials, webinars, events, conferences, emails, calls, everything.

(even if not in person, then through your investment and philanthropic enterprises and the members of your team)

Literally one meeting away…

Keywords

• Impact investment

• Conscious capital

• Purpose-driven

• Triple bottom line

• Radical innovation

Alphabetical order, everyone mentioned here is of great esteem and importance 🙏

1. Bob Worsley

💼 LinkedIn

From the abundance.community

As a last big life contribution to humanity, I am creating a team to invent a modern smaller home of the future, net-zero solar, robotic furniture, smart, factory finished 100%, designed around all steel container shipping standards, stackable for multifamily units.

We had some enjoyable conversations (aka “thoughtful disagreements”) about the feature set and the target market.

Bargain warning

My factory in China that I am using has 175 unit hotel with 217 containers that I can get really cheap since the EU developer in Belgium went broke.

Maybe we could use it for some large infrastructure projects?

2. Brock Pierce

💼 LinkedIn

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Many memorable experiences from hanging out in Puerto Rico during the Restart Week. Some of the parties were pretty wild…

goodmoney.com event could easily be a filming set, colors and energy were out of this world

3. Dinesh Dhamija

💼 LinkedIn

Dinesh is passionate about rights for immigrants as well as tackling climate change and promoting entrepreneurship.

Some “thoughtful disagreements” here as well— whether to build PV energy production or energy storage?

No simple answer here. We are post-COVID 2020 New World Order and if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change, we need to change how we treat the energy pricing: imf.org/en/Topics/climate-change/energy-subsidies

4. Elon Musk

A. Building a house

A conversation about the house is also referenced in the New York Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/style/elon-musk-maureen-dowd.html

He had thought about designing his own “aspirational masterpiece of a house,” but decided that it would take bandwidth away from his work “getting people to Mars and environmental sustainability and accelerating stable energy.”

B. Hyperloop station

We are welcoming hyperloop node:

C. Spaceport

D. Cybertruck BaseX edition

We need a slightly higher suspension and you’ll be able to drive on water.

“During normal sea water levels, the water depth between Hõralaid and Vohilaid is ca 0.6m, making the distance passable by walking in the sea.” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B5ralaid

E. SpaceX EU

SpaceX remains a private company to avoid regulation and run faster.

And yet many of the US laws are still applicable: spacex.com/careers

To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

There is a lot of rocket science and alien technology outside of the US.

F. (optionally) Cybertruck UK

Mars’s preorder is for the UK version. If everything is self-driving anyway do we really need to worry about such little details?

Snippet from the eBussy vehicle: https://www.engadget.com/electric-brands-ebussy-194041042.html — because of self-driving ability we are not really concerned about the location of the steering wheel.

5. Garret Camp

💼 LinkedIn

In 2018 Camp established the Camp Foundation, a non-profit research organization to support research into infrastructure, sustainability, and conservation projects that will have a significant global impact.

We are a non-profit research organization created by Garrett Camp, founder of Expa and Uber. Our mission is to support research into infrastructure, sustainability and conservation projects that will have a significant global impact.

6. Guy Laliberté

One of the guys who funded the Fly Ranch for the Burning Man Project.

Owner of an island and a lot of other interesting properties.

7. Jaan Tallinn 🇪🇪

His approach to philanthropy is truly remarkable: jaan.online/philanthropy

Focusing on AI and existential risks to humanity: jaan.online/xrisk

8. Jean-Marc La Flamme

💼 LinkedIn

Building multiple eco-villages in Canada.

9. Jeff Bezos

One of the richest man in the known universe.

(only behind royal families, Rothschilds and Illuminati)

He must be received loads of unsolicited message to his name@company.com

At this level you must be really protected, do you have a direct line?

Do you have a direct line?
