True -- also I wouldn't say Elon is a genius. I feel thats a term for people who solve deep intractable physics/math problems. Elon's admirable attributes are that he is an insane capital allocator, has a very acute enginee

I think you guys shouldn't be comparing “geniuses” because i don't think thats the forcing function here (ie IQ and ability). The forcing function is having so much responsibility and stress from running so many companies. You ha

No actually they don't. Not sure which market your talking about but I can assure you that re-investing in nuclear power is the right choice for long term energy capability for humans.

Different energy product. And it doesn't preclude renewable energy from being deployed alongside. This pitting of renewables vs nuclear is not helpful for renewables or nuclear. They both work well together.

Its the same with any massive infrastructure investment - only governments have the balance sheet to build them.

Nuclear safety to provide safety is important but not to stifle any innovation or deployment which is what it has been.

This should be a quick reminder to the crowd -- Nuclear is almost always a public/private partnership to manage the project development costs and to keep the cost of capital in a reasonable range. The costs are large for a private com

Its multifold. 1. Regulations are a big asterisk to any project. If you don't think you will get licensed or your project will get axed halfway through or there is a risk (Which has been very high in the past). Investors who would p

Thats not the full picture. Aviation exploded in growth -- you can easily expand operations and work to smaller margins. The US shut down the nuclear industry intentionally from the 80s until the last 5 years from regulations.

I'm pretty sure they know people aren't upgrading every 1-2 years - they have some pretty extensive data on that front. There is a subset but there are some pretty sharp people working at Apple even if this thread likes to rip th

This kind of commentary is more appropriate for Reddit but in this case I approve.

It goes for all models though if you are looking at the values argument that original commenter made -- western values are probably more aligned than authoritarian governments - even if you do have your concerns about western companies. At

I think the payment model is still not there which is making everything blurry. Until we figure out how much people have to pay to use it and all the services built on its back it will remain challenging to figure out full value prop. Tha

I think I should correct your statement slightly - its not wrong however we don't have a uranium shortage -- we have more uranium than we could possible use. We do have a HALEU advanced nuclear fuel supply chain issue. Thats being cur

If the analogy you say is correct -- I think it makes sense in that its stripe that is actually the individual who is holding the treasury (short term debt) and the stablecoin user can spend it on something, and the US treasury can use the
