Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) announced a merger Thursday with the nuclear fusion company, TAE Technologies (TAE).
The all-stock transaction is valued at more than $6 billion, according to TMTG. President Donald Trump has previously moved to bolster nuclear energy through executive action — though fusion technology has infamously struggled to deliver commercially viable and grid-scale power, despite decades of research.

Theoretical work on fusion power started in the 1920’s, and actual research began in the 1950’s. At every point since research began up until the present day it was claimed that success was 30 years away.
One of his many front groups was the Fusion Energy Foundation. They published a magazine called Fusion, which they sold at airports.
I got one of those (”EIR”) when I was a youth before I knew what the LaRouchies were about. it had a cover price of $495, but I got it for $5.
I also remember Diet Smith pushing Fusion in Dick Tracing comics in the early ‘80s. “Fusion Now!”
I talked to them for a while, asking questions, trying to figure out what they believed.
Their ramblings sounded incoherent and all over the place. They talked about the Revolutionary War, Lafayette, the British Queen, fusion energy, various mathematical and economic theories.
I ventured a comment (I forget what), to see if I understood. One of them chuckled and said, "That's pure Hobbes."
I don't know why. I never mentioned Hobbes.
I went away thinking they were too brilliant, or too crazy, or both, for me to understand.
Oh yeah, they were also selling a book which claimed that Thomas Jefferson was a subversive and a Communist.
It’s a risky venture as much bigger (more money and more R&D) players have so far failed to get Fusion to the practical stage yet.
Trump Media stock was down about $25 on the year, is up $4 today. The main drag on it had been the crypto 'investments', so I'm glad they're taking a shot at an actual business concern. General Fusion (Canadian, backed by Bezos) is IMHO the only company on the right track, but TAE's also pursuing an approach that isn't just brute-force. Brute force fusion will work, so long as you've got something the size of a star. ⭐🧑🔬👩🔬👨🔬⚛️
Okay... I've got an item on order from the Bezos Empire, and one of the "Vine" reviews has this line:The price is comparable to other devices of a similar cost.Yeah, no kaka, eh?
honestly I don’t think I’ll see it in my lifetime but I’m glad people are trying
Comnpletely irrelevant, but I’m glad to see the Amazon delivery tracker actually has restored the “how many stops away” to the screen. And in homage to the time of the year, the delivery truck is shown as Santa’s sleigh.
There are loads of tax money to be handed out to “research.” I’m not PHD in physics but getting more power out of something than is put in to it ain’t gonna happen.
Getting a reaction isn’t the problem. A nuke ‘gets the reaction’. The problem is containing the reaction... the ‘wall’...
