Why don't they fix whatever is the problem that they see in the USA then they can have a new frontier without exiting from American society.

I see the names Elon Musk and Peter Thiel as being prominent, and I imagine all the no holds barred freedom, without regulation or obeying the laws, that will be afforded them in Greenland; without mainstream Americans' oversight.

Because they want the chow and not to have to make the meal.

In other words, America is too complicated what with all its voices and POVs. Besides, they’ve ruined the $, the economic outlook, and the environment everywhere they turn, so their ROI is a forgone conclusion. One in which they go “why bother?” Besides, who wants to deal with all those taxes.

Amirite?

Avoiding taxes should be an easy game, just bribe Trump, it's that easy.

I think the problem may be water and other resources, it appears these data centers are stealing or draining already water-stressed communities' water reserves and the centers' need for water is ever-increasing. 

Does Greenland have enough water resources? Yes, it appears the ice sheet there is "draining" enough so that the government there has developed a new program named "Arctic Water Bank" which will be captured and transported globally for economic and job growth.

Indeed these data centers and proposed praxis cities certainly are resource-hungry takers, but are they also givers? What do they give in return? From my viewpoint at this point the giving part is lacking in equality to the taking part.

Elon gave a speech, yesterday, at his new start-up city, Starbase, Texas

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, will be integrated into the Pentagon’s network alongside Google’s generative AI system at the end of January 



 Consistently blurring the lines between the Technolords and government 

"We can no longer WAIT A DECADE for our legacy primes to deliver the next ‘perfect system’… only to find that it is delivered years behind schedule and costs ten times what it should.


...accelerate like hell to complete a project."

Using Star Trek as a carrot, what a con job. Will they be naming their collective monarchy the 'Gorn'? I suppose he will keep Grok's AI pornographic sexualizing of adults and children algorithm up and running for this venture?

Good video to watch to understand Silicon Valley’s Exit Strategy out of legacy systems and migration to new systems AKA Network States like Praxis

"The collision between the rising Network and the failing state was all too obvious."

It makes sense that the founder of Rockbridge Network e/acc would be in charge of the meeting

They won't revolt against legacy governing systems 
They won't try to reform them
They'll simply replace them

"According to Trump, much of it has to do with national security. “We have to have it,” the president has said time and again. As Trump claims—and in direct contradiction to any evidence at hand—Greenland is apparently crawling with Russian and Chinese ships, presenting a national security crisis that annexation alone will solve. Seizing Greenland is also part of the emerging “Donroe Doctrine,” in which the U.S. has the right to intervene, and even seize, any lands within the Western hemisphere that it feels like taking.


But there’s another element to this Greenland obsession that hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention—and it is just as important to Trump’s designs on plundering Greenland and claiming the island as America’s: money. Specifically, the money set to be gained by the kinds of oligarchic interests that have long backed Trump, and that now stand to benefit from American suzerainty over Greenland. To update another phrase, which we’ve seen recently race to the fore in Venezuela: It’s about looting the resources, stupid.


But even here, there’s more than meets the eye. Buried within the kind of crony capitalist network that has propelled Trump’s imperialism is something far stranger, and far darker, than simply seizing Greenland’s resources for financial gain. It’s about the opening salvos in a world in which any restrictions on American oligarchy—any oversight, any democratic checks, any hurdles whatsoever—are removed, and a golden, pro-oligarchic age reigns, centered on, but by no means limited to, Greenland.


Yet even that story—of American oligarchs pushing an imperial president to new land seizures and new wealth—is only part of the picture. Greenland isn’t only a treasure trove for some of these oligarchic forces to mine or to extract. It’s also a place for experimentation, not only in how to expand American empire but in how to create a world in which all of these oligarchic figures’ utopian (or dystopian, for the rest of us) fantasies can come true.


The man long at the center of these murkier fantasies is a slender, sandy-haired American named Dryden Brown. He is the head of an organization called Praxis, which has become one of the centers of the so-called “network state” movement. The definition of “network states” is itself a bit jumbled; a “network state,” says backer Balaji Srinivasan, is a “highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.”
