And people, this is like, you know, he's not a billionaire.
Lots of this stuff is crowdfunded.
People work for him for free because he's just like this incredible like tour de force, right?
So that's what this documentary filmmaker went to, you know, go capture.
But while that was happening, so this was in 2016.
While that was happening, another journalist, Kim Wall, she worked for that magazine Wired, that technology magazine.
I love Wired.
She went to go do a piece on him as well.
And what happened is they went down in a submarine together.
They went missing.
And when they came back up, only Peter was there.
Kim had gone missing.
He reckons he dropped her off safely.
But of course, this is where the documentary just takes a complete turn because the whole story is, well, what happened down in the submarine?
It kind of felt like, now there's no suggestion that what he was doing was a cult, right?
But to me, there was lots of similarities to a cult leader with Peter.
Because you'd have all these people fanatically following him and just working for him for free.
And also he was building a ship to go into outer space.
So very, you know, culty vibes, I find.
