Oh a private nuclear weapon? Owned by Peter “humanity shouldn’t survive” Theil?
Sure. Of course.

LOL, hell no. Not even the Trump administration would allow a private concern to enrich weapon grade uranium.
Or, if you want a cynical take, no administration is going to give up their monopoly on ultraviolence.

Enrichment for a nuclear power plant is nowhere near close to enrichment for a nuclear weapon. Something like 5% vs. 90%+? And every step closer to 90% is a tall step.
