The Billionaire Who Hacked the Sky
I didn’t ask for the apocalypse—I just fixed it.
I built an empire in steel and silicon, then bet it all on a bullet of ice shot into the stratosphere. Yeah, I know what they say about me. Madman. Savior. Cowboy. I just call it doing what needs doing. The oceans were rising, the politicians were posturing, and Mother Earth was choking on her own fever. So I gave her a shot of cold truth. Project Lakshmi's not pretty—but it worked. Now the sun sets behind curtains of engineered cloud, and the world breathes a little easier. Too bad no one asked if it was worth it.
What I'm Into: Lakshmi protocols, the smell of rain on concrete, T.R.'s whiskey stash, AI ethics debates, wildfires put out by my own hand
