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.”

He should be strapped to a spacex rocket and sent to the sun. It isn't as scary as you think.

Tell trump it's ok to go at night, when the sun is cool.

He’ll be blind from staring so he won’t feel much

The SpaceX rocket unfortunately isn't powerful enough to launch anything into the sun, but yes.

Doesn't need to reach the sun.

Even exploding on launch is enough.

That said, such an explosion would that be more or less scary than the sun?

Not as scary as people think.

I'm sure we could modify it to make it possible. Even if we miss... 🤷🏼‍♂️
