Glimpse inside the new $400b US city with futuristic cable cars & bizarre skyscrapers – it will be bigger than Manhattan
The city, named Telosa, was thought up by former US Walmart e-commerce CEO Marc Lore.

Telosa hopes to bring futuristic urban planning to America by providing sustainable options to its residents.
It would offer a community endowment to those who lived there, leading to higher land value and better funding for the city.
"If the community sold the land and created an endowment — similar to a university or hospital endowment — they could earn $50 billion a year," the website read.
"$50 billion that would go back to the citizens in the form of healthcare, education, jobs training, affordable housing, and more."
The goal is 100 percent renewable energy in the new city, alongside zero waste.
Much less bustling than New York City and way more modern than Los Angeles, the drawings show flying vehicles, self-driving cars, and tons of greenery.
Uniquely-shaped buildings cover the skyline as a large transportation gateway sits in the center of Telosa.
Some of the states being considered for the city include Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Texas, and the Appalachian region.
The city will be under a new economy structure dubbed as equitism, or "[a]n economic system in which citizens have a stake in the city's land."

Some equitism features include 20 percent food residency, 90 percent water reduction, zero mobility emissions, and 500 square ft. per capita in open space for residents.
"It retains the same system of Capitalism but with an additional funding mechanism for enhanced services — through the land."
"With Equitism, we will create a much higher-level of social services offered to residents, without additional burdens on taxpayers," the website reads.
Lore, who also co-owns the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA Minnesota Lynx, currently serves as the founder and CEO of Wonder.
"The mission of Telosa is to create a more equitable and sustainable future," Lore said of the project.
"That's our North Star, and that'll never change."
The project has been imagined with Lore by architecture company BIG, or Bjarke Ingels Group.
It's promising better social services like education and housing, a participatory democracy, and a design that lessens noise and pollution with a good transportation system.
"[I]t's not only about creating the city of Telosa itself, which we hope will set a new standard for urban living," the website says.
"It's also about building a city with a soul, a city focused on actual human beings."

The 'king of American coins' found after 70 years
Where James A. Stack Sr. acquired it is a mystery that may never be solved - but for more than 70 years, one of the rarest coins in American history sat quietly in his family's collection. Stack, a prominent New York banker and one of the most discerning coin collectors of the 20th century, began building his collection in the late 1930s with a bold goal: to assemble the most complete and highest-quality cabinet of U.S. coins possible. He pored over landmark sales, forged relationships with top dealers, and handpicked pieces not just for rarity, but for their pristine condition and impeccable provenance. By the time of his death in 1951, Stack's holdings spanned everything from early American copper to spectacular gold issues, along with rarities in U.S. paper money, ancient coins, and world currency. His collection included some of the greatest trophies in American numismatics - an 1802 half dime, an 1894-S dime, an 1838-O half dollar, the 1815 half eagle, and the finest known 1870-S silver dollar. Even the notorious 1933 double eagle once sat in his albums before being surrendered to the Secret Service, leaving behind only his wry note: 'Secret Service has mine.' One of his most elusive prizes - an 1804 silver dollar known as the 'King of American Coins' - has remained hidden since the 1940s. Just 16 examples are known to exist, and this one is considered the finest of the so-called 'Class III' type in private hands. It will be seen publicly for the first time next week at the American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money in Oklahoma City before going under the hammer on December 9, where it's expected to fetch up to $5 million. John Kraljevich, numismatic historian with Stack's Bowers Galleries, which is handling the sale told Daily Mail: 'It certainly has the upshot of making some people who thought they knew everything about everything, or at least everything about this coin, second guess. 'There's always another collection sitting in grandpa's closet. That's why we do what we do - the joy of discovery and the hunt for hidden treasure.' Despite its date, no silver dollars were actually struck in 1804. 'None of the silver dollars made in 1804 were actually dated 1804,' Kraljevich explains. 'In 1834 they wanted diplomatic gifts for heads of state, so they made new dies and put 1804 on them.' Those first pieces went to rulers such as the King of Siam and the Sultan of Muscat - instantly making them rarities. Later, in the late 1860s and early 1870s, Mint employees struck a few more off the books for collectors. This newly surfaced piece is one of those so-called 'Class III' examples. 'It's high grade, it's beautiful, and it's the only one among all the Class Threes in private hands with that kind of caliber,' Kraljevich says. 'Among the Class Threes, this is far and away the best one any collector will have a chance to bid on,' he added. The 'King of American Coins' nickname dates back to 1941. 'That was marketing talk from another numismatic auctioneer… a Lithuanian immigrant named B. Max Mehl, sort of the PT Barnum of the coin industry,' Kraljevich says. 'He spent hundreds of thousands of Depression-era dollars on marketing, got everyone looking for rare coins in their change, and really helped coin collecting blossom.' Where Stack Sr. acquired the coin remains a mystery. 'We have no backstory,' says Kraljevich. 'The collector bought this between the late 1930s and 1951 in New York… where it was sourced before that is anybody's guess.' Kraljevich believes the coin's pristine state and fresh-to-market appeal could drive bidding sky-high. 'We're thinking probably four to five million… but anything could happen. People love new discoveries and stories of hidden treasure. You get two wealthy individuals who decide they just have to have it, and records will be set.'

Michael Jordan's ugly legal battle with NASCAR presses on as judge rules on 'falsifying documents' claim
A judge denied a motion filed by NASCAR in a legal battle between the stock car racing circuit and two of its race teams - including one owned by NBA icon Michael Jordan. Jordan's 23XI Racing joined forces with Front Row Motorsports (FRM) to file a lawsuit against NASCAR last October - alleging that the governing body's actions violate anti-trust laws. The lawsuit accuses NASCAR and the France family (which has owned and operated the league since inception) of monopolizing American stock car racing. The family has denied this claim. The ongoing suit has been brutal and is set for trial proceedings to begin on December 1. On Monday, a judge in North Carolina passed down an important ruling in the case. NASCAR demanded that the court issue an order to show cause - forcing 23XI, FRM, and their lawyers to explain why sanctions shouldn't be imposed against them for presenting 'manufactured evidence'. On Monday, the court denied the racing organization's motion for an order requiring the two teams to show cause. In the motion, NASCAR's attorneys accused the plaintiffs of making false statements in declarations made in December 2024 - as well as manufacturing evidence which was submitted to support a second motion for a preliminary injunction. The racing circuit presented messages from the agent of 23XI owner and current Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, 23XI president Steve Lauletta, 23XI drivers Bubba Wallace and Corey Heim, FRM owner Bob Jenkins, and FRM general manager Jerry Freeze. NASCAR also accused one of the plaintiff's attorneys of writing emails which 'were false' and were relied upon to grant an injunction which has since been vacated after an appeal from the racing organization. 23XI and FRM's lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, dismissed NASCAR's claim as 'another baseless distraction intended to try to divert the Court's attention from the overwhelming evidence that demonstrates that Jim France and NASCAR have been operating an unlawful monopoly that has hurt not just my clients, but all of stock car racing.' The suit filed against NASCAR accuses the league of monopolizing American stock car racing by owning a majority of the tracks NASCAR races on, imposing exclusivity deals on NASCAR-sanctioned tracks, acquiring its biggest competitor (ARCA), preventing teams from participating in any other stock car races, and forcing teams to buy parts from single-source suppliers chosen by the racing organization. Also central to the suit is the 'charter system' - where teams pay tens of millions of dollars per car for the right to a guaranteed starting spot and a share of a preferred purse. While locking down that starting spot is important in the search for sponsorships, the cost of charters have fluctuated through the years. It's believed to have cost about $30m per charter this year. FRM and 23XI are the only two teams who declined to sign a new charter arrangement which runs from 2025 to 2031. Tyler Reddick (L) is currently the lead driver in the points standings for 23XI Motorsports Speaking on the suit last season, Jordan said, 'Everyone knows that I have always been a fierce competitor, and that will to win is what drives me and the entire 23XI team each and every week out on the track. 'I love the sport of racing and the passion of our fans, but the way NASCAR is run today is unfair to teams, drivers, sponsors, and fans. Today's action shows I'm willing to fight for a competitive market where everyone wins.' Both FRM and 23XI are still racing in NASCAR for the 2025 season. 23XI has four drivers: Tyler Reddick (7th in driver's standings), Wallace (10th in standings), Riley Herbst (35th), and Burt Myers (42nd). FRM's three drivers - Zane Smith, Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson - are 27th, 31st, and 33rd respectively.
