I wish this was an inflated title but no, he really said this.
America, you need to get rid of this asshole ASAP.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And who, exactly, is going to get paid to do that? Last I saw 75% of them were furloughed at the moment.
Don't worry, there will be a company popping up tied to some Republicunts who'll do the testing for "cheap".

doG help us all:
He really is hellbent on literally destroying America for money.
However
So I hope this makes the rounds and steps are taken against it soon.
Look, I hate the guy too. However, this probably isn't bad. Nuclear energy is incredibly safe, and clean. If he wants to use some of his money to build out nuclear power then I'm fine with that. It will almost certainly never make up for the damage done by "AI" but it's better than not having it.
You don't use weapons grade plutonium for nuclear reactors
Incorrect. That's the purpose of this.

We get that. But instead of controling the process he's literally selling off weapons grade plutonium to shady, megalomaniac tech bros as I stated before.
He's literally selling off weapons grade plutonium to shady, megalomaniac tech bros. That leaves very little wiggle room for concern trolling and you're way off the mark.
But the article implies that it isn't a done deal until the end of the year (I'm not sure I got that right though), so it's not too late to protest, raise awareness.
I'm NGL If my job put in the position to be the one testing nukes it would be very tempting to do so even without pay just on a 'oonga boonga big boom' basis. Unfortunately I'm educated enough to know how awful that is for the environment, also not a nuclear test engineer or whatever the job title even is.
