Trump Media is merging with fusion power hopefully TAE, because obviously, that makes a ton of sense, they’re in very similar industries and I’m sure there’s no corruption going on whatsoever.
Wait, fusion power is going to work in two weeks now?
Strangely trump Media is up over one third right now, and rising. Corruption? Never! Business genius. Who knew that being president of the USA could be so lucrative?
That was my thought as well.
The idea that Devin Nunes will be co-CEO of a fusion company is absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe they figured out that the path to fusion they were pursuing was a dead end and this is how they decided to cash out? It just makes no sense. Trump Media is a failed company that’s barely kept afloat by the president’s name recognition and implied power. It doesn’t have a real viable product, and anyone who would merge with it likely doesn’t either.
It just depends on what industry you’re in. Agriculture is a different story:
Wow, another slush fund for insiders to take advantage of the gullible rubes. Never saw that coming.
Did I say trump asocial stock rising by a third? Make it 40%.
I read somewhere that they are expecting to produce usable power in 2026. Even the Chinese don’t expect that until some time in the 2030s.
Who’s the “they” here? TAE or some other group?
Won’t the top fusion techies, who all the fusion companies want to hire, now avoid TAE?
I guess I few of them are Trumpers, but I doubt many are. Or I hope not.
Yeah. It went from 10.50 to 14.86. 40% of a tiny number is still a tiny number.
The high this year was 42.91. The stock is still 65% down. And it will go down more when the news settles and reality sets in.
If the stock drops, they’ll just find another promising technology to merge with, such as cars that run on water or extracting gold from ocean water.
They told Trump they were working on clean coal based fusion. CCBF is the future of coal, dadgummit!
You might be on to something!
We just need a few stellar masses of hydrogen and we are golden.
“Stellar masses? Of course we have stellar masses, the most stellar masses anyone has ever seen! No one has ever seen a mass more stellar than my mass! And it is such a nice rich gold color. A Proper American color, not one of those woke English “colours”. Such massive, steller massive, gold “Color”!”
We are such a fucking tinpot dictatorship. I wonder which fascist lackey was facing losing their shirt on this fusion company, so convinced Trump to do this?
Of course you can now add fusion technology to the list of things Trump’s turning to shite. As you can bet that whatever technique TAE uses is now the only allowed method of fusion research,.
Good luck getting a penny of dept of energy, DARPA, etc funding if you are doing something else, even if your technique actually works. What’s actually doing fusion successfully got to do with it? Trump isn’t getting paid by your technique so get the hell out of here!
How long do you think Trump Media will last after Trump leaves office or dies, whichever comes first?
