Mark Zuckerberg is building mansions in Hawaii as if there were no tomorrow. No one knows what

Mark Zuckerberg is putting target legs with his Galactic signings For his Superintelligence team, and also Hawaii, where he has been buying land and building buildings more than a decade. So much later, what is pursued there is still an unknown, especially in terms of details as a mysterious and giant underground bunker. Zuck continues to buy and build to expand his complex megalomaniac. In 2023, We knew the existence From Kolau Ranch, a new mansion that Mark Zuckerberg was building surrounded by luxuries. The figures left no doubt about the magnitude of the project: a minimum of 270 million dollars (counting only the value of the land and the main work) and 500 hectares. According to a new investigation of WiredAt the beginning of the year there has been a new purchase of land totaling almost 400 hectares. In total, today the property of the CEO amounts to approximately 930 hectares. The expense? More than 300 million dollars. Because. It is the great mystery, nobody knows what plans exactly in mind. An old project employee summed up well the secretism that surrounds the constructions of the Meta CEO project: “It is the fight club. We do not talk about the fight club.” Behind this difficulty in obtaining information, even in the field, are strict confidentiality agreements signed by the workers. They have sworn silence and expose themselves to lose their jobs if they talk to the press. What is building exactly. The first part of the plan, in which there was an investment of at least 270 million, included two huge mansions with dizzy figures: 500 hectares, an underground shelter of 460 m2 and a dozen buildings with at least 30 rooms and 30 bathrooms. Now Zuckerberg is building three large more austere buildings (so to speak), more functional and far from opulence. According to the information that Wired has been able to access, each one has 16 rooms and, in common, share a space of 120 square meters. The global size of the buildings range from 700 to 1,000 square meters. The confirmed. Brandi Hoffine Barr, representative of Zuckerberg in Hawaii, has confirmed to Wired that the new buildings will be used as guest housing: family, friends and staff. Not only are they 10 times larger than the middle house of the archipelago: two of them will cost between 3.5 and 4 million dollars. One of the most enigmatic parts of the megalomaniac project of the Meta CEO is its underground bunker. Regarding this, what he said is that it is not a bunker For the end of the worldbut “A small shelter, A basement“ It has encountered a funeral problem. While Zuckerberg has been put in founding mode To recruit the major Galactic team of artificial intelligence (AI) and assemble Data centers in tentsKauai’s properties, in Hawaii, have not brought him very good news, according to Wired. Zuckerberg’s property is on a cemetery where Julian Ako’s ancestors, a local resident. And a local fight. After negotiations, Ako has made access to the land to register the tombs of his great -grandparents, because he knew that his great grandmother and her brother are buried there. The local community fears that if more remains appear, it is not notified due to the confidentiality agreements signed by the workers. According to Ako, if they discover more bones and communicate it, construction workers put their jobs into play. The problem is not new, because in its first purchases, in 2014, Zuckerberg had to deal with the rights that the premises had on their property. Despite this, for now, nothing slows Zuck. Representative Brandi Hoffine Barr acknowledged knowing the idiosyncrasy of the land in 2015, and states that they fenced and maintained the fossal part. Millionaire’s trend buying in Hawaii. Mark Zuckerberg or is the only billionaire who with his investments aggravates the problem: Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey either Marc BenioffCEO of Salesforce, have also disbursed huge amounts of money for giving parts of the islands. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, who recently has unseat Zuck as a richer man, Buy Lanai Island almost completely. The consequence? The locals had to leave. With a huge consequence in the state. Although Zuckerberg is resorting to philanthropia and financing non -profit organizations, his investment is contributing to a problem of the islands and global: extremely expensive housing and away from the financial possibilities of local citizens. Prices is triggered from the pandemic, when many rich and Teleworking They moved to the paradisiacal environment. Influence in other billionaires. The publication of the Zuckerberg plan and his giant bunker has influenced In the rich bunkers market. Al Corbi, founder of Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments (SAFE), told that the request for information on the construction of these elements increased considerably when Zuckerberg’s plans were made public. According to Corbi, recently bunkers “have grown a lot in size and stature”, pointing to details such as equipment to keep a family for a week. The question is whether they will have a Pendrive with Ia. Outstanding image | Braden Jarvis in Unspash, Goal In Xataka | Larry Page wants to get lost on an island, but it is not decided which.

The calls spam from numbers 600 and 700 will be prohibited from tomorrow. The question is where you will call you now

Saturday, June 7. It is the date on which the normative reform through which the realization of commercial calls from numbers assigned to mobile lines comes into force It is prohibited. The Minister for Digital and Public Transformation advanced in mid -May two amendments to achieve it. From that date, the operators cannot call you from a 6xx number, they will have to do it from an 800 or 900. The question now is what number we can call. The change. Until now, companies had free way to Call you from phone numbers with prefix 6 or 7the same ones that have any individual on your mobile phone. It was a tactic that prevented the user from recognizing a first glance whether or not they were calling him from an advertising department, and one with which the Government will end immediately. From June 7, any call for commercial purposes must be made from a number with prefix 800 or 900. It will be the way we will have the Spaniards to recognize when they are calling us for advertising purposes. Additional to this measure, companies They can’t call you from foreign numbersnor formalize the closure of a contract by phone. The reactions. Digi, one of the operators that grows the most in Spain and aspires to occupy the national top 3 in the short term, It has been the first to move file. Until now, the company could contact the number 642 642 642 and 1200. With the new change, the new customer service is 919 120 120. All calls received from customer service will be from that 900, a practice that the rest of the operators will have to follow immediately to comply with the new regulation. At the moment, giants like Vodafone Where will you have to call you. As a consumer, when calling, change will affect you in cases where the company completely eliminates the number 600 for customer service. The law forces them to call you from 900, but does not prohibit that you call a 600. It will be necessary to inform themselves on the website of each of the companies to know how the changes have applied. Companies are obliged to replace this prefix for a 900 or 800 for their outgoing calls, but Digi has shown that “The easy number” (1200, 1004, 1444) which we always call will remain alive. It is a logical movement, since the legislation does not modify the numbers to those we call Consumers only affect numbers From those who call us. The problem. Although the government wants to reduce the impact of the so -called spam in Spain, the underlying problem remains alive: The consent. Even if you are in the Robinson list, you may receive calls from companies that you think you have not given permission. Sometimes, we have been able to give consent without even knowing it (having formalized a contract, giving a “yes” during a call, etc.). The foundations of “Legitimate interest” They are also diffuse. If the company calls to improve our service and offer discounts, It can be considered as a desired communication.

Finance Mines Today, its production is ensured tomorrow

Recently The news jumped that Europe did not want to buy Chinese solar panels if they had been developing through forced labor. The problem is not only manufacturing, but the Asian giant controls the entire supply chain from its extraction to its refinement, taking almost two decades of advantages. And now it goes one step further: now you want to ensure future gold production. A new opening. Zijin Mining Group, one of the world’s largest gold and copper miners, has begun to open its funds to professional investors in Hong Kong. According to Financial Timeshas launched the first background of streaming China Minero, a financial modality that consists in finance mines in exchange for rights over its future production. With this model, traditionally dominated by Canadian companies such as Wheaton Priceus Metals, Zijin intends to ensure ingots without directing each mine. But the play does not end there. As He has reported South China Morning Post (SCMP), Its asset management subsidiary, Gold Mountain Asset Management, has gone from operating exclusively with internal resources of the group to capture external capital, offering exposure to strategic metals such as gold and copper. A strategic movement. The decision is not fortuitous. On the one hand, the offer is increasingly limited. Both Lisa Liu, director of Gold Mountain, and Bank of America analysts cited by Financial Times They have agreed that the gold mines in the world are depleting their high quality reserves, while investment in new explorations has been insufficient during the last decade. On the other hand, the demand for gold does not stop growing. In times of geopolitical uncertainty and commercial tensions, central investors and banks take refuge in tangible assets. This has driven gold to mark historical maximums. According to SCMPsome experts have estimated that the price could reach $ 4,000 per ounce this year. The center of the world. The digital transformation of the Asian country is not accidental. In an increasingly bound world towards data centers, electrical networks and artificial intelligence infrastructure, China wants to be where you should be. Has already shown it by configuring as The first “electrostate”and now seeks to ensure access to basic materials that feed that infrastructure: gold, copper and also lithium. Gold always shines. As They have detailed In SCMP, Zijin’s funds have reported a performance of 18% only in the first four months of 2025, and Copper investments They are also outlined as strategic to the growing demand promoted by artificial intelligence. Zijin even plans to reorganize his international assets under a new entity, Zijin Gold Internationaloverlooking a future stock market. In addition, Gold Mountain directly finances mining projects through private credit, accepting in return the gold produced, a way of ensuring supply without the need to operate the deposits. Has also signed agreements of streaming With mines in Ivory Coast, Gansu (China) and hopes to close new operations in Africa and South America, According to Financial Times. A broader ambition. Beyond the numbers, what Zijin is building has a geopolitical dimension. In an increasingly fragmented world, where critical resources define technological and energy sovereignty, controlling the flow of gold, copper and lithium is both an economic and strategic play. While the West continues to discuss decarbonization or industrial relocation, China is buying the subsoil. Gold by gold. Mine per mine. Contract contract. The future of energy, technology and security may not be alone in algorithms, but in the metals that make them possible. And China is making sure they go through their hands first.
