It's still a luxury yacht decked out with nearly all the things you'd expect from a half a billion dollar superyacht. Only part of it is customised for research. If the main goal was to turn half a billion dollars into a research boat, this isn't the boat that would get made.

Alternatively, it's a luxury yacht for small teams of passionate scientists to keep them happy and comfortable for long periods, and also a floating town for Gabe to live in

Also, if you want to criticize it there's one implication that worries me... Part of the concept is that this yacht will be a floating lab that can pick up and move to avoid regulations

International Waters: No Laws. No Ethics.

Oh man. We all think Musk, who is outwardly evil, is making NueroLink to control people but he's such a goober that shit's never gonna work. Gabe on the other hand...

I do think Gabe has good intentions at least... But... Well... I've never played resident evil, but I've read plenty of cautionary sci-fi tales

Resident Evil coming to life before our eyes. What next, giant underground installations throughout the countrysi- oh… oh no…
