sorry but that's just not true.
The problem with building skyscrapers really, really high is not wind loads. The problem is making the foundation wide enough to prevent it from sinking into the Earth.
Sorry but you are really wrong here. Gravity loads are comparatively easy to design for. Lateral loads (wind and seismic) is what the engineers get the big bucks for. Skyscrapers typically sit on piles driven into the bedrock, so saying "the size of the foundation needs to be wide enough to prevent it from sinking into the earth" is really inaccurate as well.
