Elon and Trump make the worst possible argument for nuclear power I have ever heard:

“Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they are full cities again,” the multibillionaire owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X said.

“That’s great, that’s great,” Mr Trump responded.

“It is not as scary as people think, basically,” Mr Musk added.

They joked about nuclear power facing a “branding problem”.

“We will have to rebrand it,” the former president told Mr Musk. “We will name it after you or something.”

      You’d already know that if you hear him talk about something you have knowledge about. He is spewing bullshit so confidently, only a layman would think it sounds logical.

      But to hammer it home.

      Elon has a degree in Economics. He tried to go for Physics as well but he wasn’t smart enough.

      Only 2 year after he left school did he get a degree, when the school received a big donation. He just bought his degree.

      Didn’t stop him from claiming he got the degree during those 2 years either. He even got sued for that.
