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.”

    He’s gonna run for president some time in the future, mark my words. And he’s gonna be a lot worse than Trump.

        That would count on the Supreme Court not to mess with this for a Republican candidate.

          A bunch of racist assholes made that claim while Obama was in office, but they notably never produced even the tiniest shred of evidence that it was even a possibility.

          So no. He wasn’t born in Kenya.

              This is the problem with misinformation and low information voters. Shits been a decade and you still thought he was born in Kenya?

              Do you actually follow any news sources at all?

                Alright I’ll come clean: I knew he was born in Hawaii all along.

          Wouldn’t matter if he was (he was born in Hawai’i). His mother was American and he automatically was. Elon’s father and mother are South African.
