I think the Office of Nuclear Energy is trying to get in front of Musk shutting all these projects down and moving the green funding to solar and battery.

- zahlman 2y agoMusk has an established track record of pro-nuclear sentiment (see my other comment for example). I see no reason to expect him to do any such thing.
- ChrisRR 2y agoMusk also has a track record of being a gigantic tool to serve his own interests. So I'll only believe it when I see it
- zahlman 2y agoI have given evidence; thus far you offer only personal sentiment. Feel free to explain how increased nuclear energy capacity would even hinder Musk's interests in the first place.

- stubish 2y agoThe vast amounts of waste in building nuclear power is part of why it is so expensive, with projects traditionally ballooning to triple budget estimates. Exactly the stuff he is required to cut hard by mid-2026. With the numbers in plain sight, arguments of corruption will be rejected, despite the fact he stands to gain billions due to owning the biggest slice of proven, lower cost, less wasteful alternative.
