Here we go again with techbros trying to build their freedom pods in some new, simple and innovative way, far away from the pesky government, only to inevitably find out that it doesn't work this time either, because a) the government exists in Greenland too, and b) they massively overestimated their ability to innovate their way out of the massively underestimated conditions of the environment they tried to build their stupid city in.
I always like when they find the cheapest site possible, buy it and then realize it has no easy water access or lack of other stuff that's needed. Which was why it was cheap in the first place. These problems are known and solved, but, being billionaire cheapskates, they won't invest in it. Like you said, try to innovate and fail.
