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

    Sure. Of course.

    Wait, the hyper-libertarian technocrat who supports authoritarian independent tech billionaire owned/run “utopias” suddenly needs a private nuclear enrichment facility… the guy who wasn’t sure the “human race should endure” …that guy?

    I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.

    The article doesn’t make it clear what their goal is. Nuclear power plants only require enrichment to about 5% uranium-235. Nuclear weapons require in excess of 90%. So my guess is this would be strictly limited to the former.

      Oh, your guess, huh? Better assume honesty and give the benefit of the doubt to technofascists.
