Why do all y’all jump to nukes with this story!? He clearly wants more power for his AI schemes. No conspiracy, the motivation is simple.

U235 enrichment:

Power plant: 3-5%.

Weapons grade: 90%+

Even a bugfuck administration like Trump’s isn’t going to allow private enterprise to produce weapons-grade fissile material without serious fucking oversight and total control over every step. Why would any government give up their most powerful weapons?

On top of that, it takes hella tech to assemble a thermonuclear weapon. Every government that has a solid intelligence apparatus tracks the tools, scientists and materials involved. An atom bomb is not a hydrogen bomb, not by an order of magnitude, and you can’t exactly hide the means for rolling your own Little Boy.

Not trying to bag on you OP, just feel like I’m taking crazy pills when we think a billionaire could get access to nukes.
