The video opens with this guy—let’s call him Evan—staring straight into the camera. He looks nervous. Sweaty, even. He says he’s about to board a private submarine owned by a billionaire he’s only met twice.
I laughed. Twice? That’s like me saying I’m borrowing my neighbor’s lawnmower after seeing him in the elevator once. But Evan is dead serious. He holds up a waterproof phone and whispers, "He wants to show me something 500 meters down."
The Billionaire
Then, the billionaire himself appears. Tall, silver-haired, wearing a turtleneck that probably costs more than my car. He doesn’t say hello. He just nods at Evan and taps a screen.
The submersible is absurd. Leather seats, mood lighting, a mini-fridge. I’m watching this on my phone during lunch, and suddenly my turkey sandwich feels very sad. Hashtag relatable, right?
They descend. The water outside goes from sunny blue to black. The billionaire starts talking—not about stocks or yachts, but about abandoned research stations. He says, "People build things, then forget them. Underwater, they’re time capsules."
