A Wired investigation reveals that the tech mogul’s top-secret Hawaiian estate will feature a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker and will generate its own energy
This one defies Betteridge’s rule because he really is building a bunker in Hawaii. Which will work out for him really well if the Kauai volcano erupts and covers it with lava.
Unfortunately, that’s not how the Hawaiian hotspot works. Kauai is the second-oldest and northwestern of the islands in the state, and since the hotspot has been moving southeast the only places where activity occurs are Maui, the Big Island, and the Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount to the southeast of it (which is expected to be a new island in 10k years or so).
Does the headline contain a question mark?
Not worth clicking then

That’s not gonna happen, the Hawaiian volcanos are created by a hot spot in the Earth’s mantle which Kauai shifted away from centuries ago.

Or when the floods come after all the ice cap melts.
Just have to build it above sea level by about 250ft.
Oh man I really hope he Pompeiis(?) himself.
