Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’
‘It is not as scary as people think, basically,’ Tesla chief says
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.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Big difference between the original atomic bombs he's talking about and current (or even decades-old) thermonuclear weapons. This is just ignorant rambling from someone that wants to be "smart".
Meanwhile, Annie Jacobsen has a recent book on exactly this subject that has been making the rounds these past months. Those two have to be living in a small bubble to not know about this book.
Never heard of it
