Google-backed nuclear fusion company TAE Technologies has merged with President Donald Trump's social media firm, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), in a $6 billion deal.
The new company is expected to encompass several businesses, including Truth Social, TAE Power Solutions, and TAE Life Sciences. Upon closing, shareholders of each company will own approximately 50 percent of the combined company.
“Trump Media & Technology Group built uncancellable infrastructure to secure free expression online for Americans, and now we’re taking a big step forward toward a revolutionary technology that will cement America’s global energy dominance for generations. Fusion power will be the most dramatic energy breakthrough since the onset of commercial nuclear energy in the 1950s—an innovation that will lower energy prices, boost supply, ensure America’s A.I.-supremacy, revive our manufacturing base, and bolster national defense. TMTG brings the capital and public market access to quickly move TAE’s proven technology to commercial viability,” said Nunes.
Following the merger, the company intends to site and begin construction on the world’s first utility-scale fusion power plant, expected to have a capacity of approximately 50MW. Following this, the company plans to build additional plants with a capacity of between 350 and 500MW.
