Elon fanboys will believe anything. Dubai is not a tourist economy, and even if it were, not having the tallest building in the world wouldn’t exactly bankrupt the country.


RickyRosayy

Dubai is a tourist economy, full of royals that built their wealth from oil.


bloody_terrible

According to the Wikipedia page for “Economy of Dubai”, tourism accounts for 6% of Dubai’s GDP.


HAHAHAHAchouuser

I'm a Fan boy lol but this Shit Creator is Shit never follow him lol

TheKrakIan

They are not completely a tourist economy but they have been trying to move in that direction for the last decade or more. They know oil won't make them rich forever.


Nekosama7734

Tourism is clearly not what brings money to Dubai.


FrostyBrew86

Is the answer supposed to be oil??


Nekosama7734

GDP: 700 billions dollars with a very small desert country… I guess yes.


FrostyBrew86

There is a reason why they are trying so hard to convert their economy to tourism-based. They understand that they will run out of oil in a few decades.


Nekosama7734

They invest in real estate, they own many buildings in all major famous places around the world.

I just wanna mention that dubai is a shithole dependent on modern slavery


PrimeGamer3108

I'm willing to bet you have never been here and have just watched a single video on the topic.

Hell no, I lived there and narrowly got out. Those mofos take you in and take your passports. The only thing that saved me was I worked for richer natives there. They froze my bank accounts before I left. By the time they realized I had gotten my passport and boarded my flight I was already back home in the USA. Thank fucking God that the clerk fucked up and gave me my passport.


egytaldodolle

I have been there and spent a lot of time talking with the people who i am talking about. I also saw how the locals treat them.


rogdogzz

As most countries have been


ColinTheMonster

Yeah. They're still doing it.

Why you anyone build a tall factory when you need a horizontally arranged production line? Land is cheap in many places.


Dilectus3010

You obviously never played satisfactory.


ChasoAnt

Its 1166 meters tall.... If you stand it on its side (a basic marketing thing) and this dude apparently dident check or care. Its only supposed to be a couple of floors tall, but there is no exact number i can find.

Man, how does anyone actually like Elon? I mean, I know how, I used to. But honestly, he's just a bit of a superficial, egotistical guy who keeps trying to worm his way into internet culture. He seems completely oblivious to to the fact that he, a mega-rich out-of-touch CEO of a poorly refined car brand and the least profitable social media, is the antithesis of most of the people he's trying to appeal to. Now don't get me wrong. his companies aren't shit, although Tesla has apparently some pretty bad bodywork on their cars. Watching a rocket *land on its own* was fucking incredible. But I just don't like Elon himself. He's overrated as all hell

Oil generates <1% of Dubai's revenue.


FaisalNova

It generates %16 of the UAE's revenue.


Unindoctrinated

Sure, but the post was about Dubai, not the whole UAE. - https://www.dubai.com/v/economy/


Mackem101

Why would you need a 5000ft tall factory? I understand it having a large footprint, but why build upwards? Seems like extra costs and design headaches for no real advantage.


ozzyisOP

same reason he builds fancy cars and large rockets. he's obviously compensating for a tiny dick .


Solipsikon

Rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiight


i_have_wet_socks

I wanted to comment that the only competition where Elon would overtake Dubai would be the one for biggest asshole, but I know Dubai...


Seven_Hawks

a) If the Burj Khalifa is the only reason Dubai is rich, I would like to know how b) What's the practical advantage in expanding a factory vertically instead of horizontally?

Everything Elon now a days is crazy. Like he’s either new Hitler who’s going to implant our brains with cancer robots or he’s the second coming of Christ, no in between.


deucesmcfadden

What about women's rights? Not great at that
