Probably used some crappy house paint instead of properly prepping and sealing cement and then applying a 2-part epoxy meant for continuous contact with water.
The contractor pocketed the difference.
Now we have more plastic type waste, wasted money, wasted news cycle about the dumb job. Have no fear, though, they’ll waste no time at all auditing the job.
It’s not nearly the first time an absurb, stupid take on something gets played to extremes for laughs only for that the be the actual path taken despite all the warnings/math/science/reality that have to be ignored. It won’t be the last, either.
(edit because clarity is important, this is only what I have heard, I don’t have a source other than some short form content I watched about it that claimed it.)
It was hydrogen peroxide, and from what I remember it was 13% (most of the stuff you use at home is 2%, 13% will burn your skin) so the theory I heard is that it might have been eating away at the paint, or getting between the paint and the actual structural layer and causing it to peel off
It was peroxide. You can see the boxes in the video, they’re labeled and say 12%. Apparently bleach was used too, but I haven’t seen the videos of that.
That is what billionaires are. They’re parasites! The idea that they’re intelligent or contributing to the community is a myth they’ve propagated. This is the rule, not the exception.

I think they’ve also been dumping loads of bleach in it to kill the algae.
I imagine most paints won’t appreciate being soaked in hot bleach for a few days.
Let alone whatever crap they used here.

It was hydrogen peroxide. Which is what I said. Although it is 12% not 13%.
I think you need to be told that it was hydrogen peroxide… specifically in 12% concentration :)
You’re most welcome, friend /s
It’s truly amazing how he became a billionaire. He really does turn everything to shit
