If the image of freedom is the symbol of America at its best, accepting any and all who want our freedom and opportunity, it is only right when we find an image that shows the worst of America. Luckily, the tech bros are on it. According to Bloomberg, many Republican tech investors are not used to building new models in America to prepare us for our fall from the Empire Era.
According to the report, there are at least some salons in the Lilicon Valley that want to be a modern monument. There is Bitcoin Mining Calvin Calvin, whose assets are placed in building a 450-meter Greek statue of the Greek god Promeseus on the island of Alcatraz; Palantir co-founder and Peter Thiel pal Joe LonSdale, who developed a practice of lame shipments that evokes “common aesthetics”; and Angel investor Elad Gil, who started a project called Monument with the aim of building large statues; and Mo Mahmood, founder of many monuments.
Calvin’s plan seems to have been the most watched of the bunch. He is said to be planning to lobby Donald Trump’s campaign to have Alcatraz designated as a national monument instead of a national park. That name will allow him to create a 30-tite tartive carving of Prometheus, which will obviously be associated with a museum of technology. This image, which would reduce the image of freedom to 305 meters, will be made of nickel-bronze alloy and placed so it is visible from all over the place. It could also come in at a cost of $450 million.
Lonsdale seems a little full of scale, but has a keen interest in aesthetics. Per Bloomberg, he has already commissioned (a standard-sized) work on a series of Greek statues known as the Greet Geraces and a Neoclassical Bust of Bari Weiss that is currently on display at the University of Austin. Lonsdale, a self-proclaimed “good guy,” is also a painter of National Monuments, run by Rodney Mims Cook Jr.
Gil has his identity in this space, called the memorial, which he posted about a year ago with an appearance on the podcast “My first million.” He is more of a money boy here, as he said during the interview that he wants to support someone who can do something real, but his plan is to build the future, “which means that their superior civilization always does it. .
Then there is Mahmood, who is very ambitious in terms of size. He wants to build a 650-meter statue of George Washington – even now, he is already solving a 50-meter version that is supposed to be removed on July 4, 2026, to mark the 250th year of America. He does it, to his credit, he already has one successful project under his belt. According to Bloomberg, his company created a 54-foot statue of an oil derrick, which is now the largest monument in the Austin, Texas area.
While these seem like very funny programs and, frankly, people, they might have a white partner. Trump has already set aside 40 million dollars to build a national garden of American heroes, partially installed to contain more than 250 statues of 250 of the highest values of 250. He was also reported to have plans to build a triumphal arch in Washington, DC that would cross the Lincoln Memorial on the other side of the river. Also, it’s not like you’re against a deep build that looks good, so, you’re kinda the audience of this type.
