Is it because it’s a stupid idea? I didn’t watch the video because it’s 44mins and it’s just a stupid idea right off the top.
Do you know what isn’t a stupid idea? A circle. Same plans, same god awful location, just make a big circle and double function the thing as a particle accelerator.
tl;dw - MBS murders anyone who opposes him, so no one will tell him it’s a bad idea (Jamal Khashoggi voiced opposition to the plan).
Also, it’s a bit of a stunt to attract tourists (compared to something like the Burj Khalifa) and has a bunch of promises that are just patently not viable, as opposed to an actually thought out project.
~24m into the video, the proposal for a circle is dropped in as a better alternative (albeit still crazy)
So they actually thought of doing a circle? OMG! My sides!
If there was a god, you know he purposely gave the dumbest people in the world the most amount of money for his own amusement. While I am sure there are some brilliant engineers working on this project, you know damn well what they are thinking.
The circle was proposed by experts who said “if you’re going to build something this dumb, a circle will require much less space and cause less problems for animal migration patterns” and promptly ignored by MBS.
So, as they say, I did my research. In a completely unrelated note I found that toddlers, in their infinite wisdom, tend to gravitate to circles and circular scribbles because it is naturally more efficient. The only natural conclusion is that infinite money cannot actually replace proper childhood development.

What if we made it like a smiley face
All these squares make a circle.

You can’t square a circle! Not with just a compass and straight and edge.
A literal gallon…
