Didn't Lockheed say they had a working fusion reactor design a couple of years ago? What ever came of that?

  Apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Compact_Fusion_Reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_Compact_Fusion... > In May 2016, Rob Weiss announced that Lockheed Martin continued to support the project and would increase its investment in it

  They said at the time that their timeline was five or six years until a working prototype.

  I think they were supposed to show a prototype by now, but obviously that hasn't happened yet.

    Strange the SEC didn't get involved. Promise of a working fusion reactor is HUGE. Yet they harassed Musk over some tweets.

      Lockheed didn't promise an exact stock value and directly manipulate a market. The difference is fine, but it is distinct.
