I guess we got Luckey there's someone we can Palmer all that material off on.

He can't profit of Iran having nukes.

The answer is usually always money.

He's selling nukes to Chumlee now?

I’m okay with providing plutonium rods to Palmer Luckey, on the condition that he shoves them up his ass using sriracha as lube.

Now you are starting to understand. Fallout was a documentary.

This isn't exactly new. And it didn't end well in the past either. After the completion of the Manhattan Project, a number of private entities begun building plutonium weapons. Notably, Rockwell International (yes, that Rockwell), ran a site outside of Denver called Rocky Flats. Ended up being one of the worst ecological disasters in American history. Plutonium will catch on fire, so there were a number of plutonium fires at the plant, but that wasn't the worst of it. Their disposal and treatment techniques were woefully inadequacy, and untold amounts of plutonium leaked into the environment. The EPA, CDPH, and DOE all knew about the process and did nothing. The FBI had to step in and raid the plant, and even still, it ran for years during court proceedings. Rather conveniently, those court documents were sealed, and later lost.

What is new here is the fact that the Trump administration already plays fast and lose with the rules. Moreover, random tech billionaires have no right so much as looking at the most dangerous substance in the world, weapons grade plutonium. So to say this will end poorly would be the understatement of the century.

P.S. Highly recommend reading up on the history of the DOE. The story of Rocky Flats, the national labs, and nuclear weapons program is so much longer and wilder than what I could put here.

Who famously love lobbying for a paucity of regulation.

the guys from pawn stars are getting nukes? ffs

Can’t wait to see what they get up to after they rig things so if their heartbeat stops a nuke goes off.

There are billionaires who create startups, but they're not the issue here. The US has around 1.7 million startups right now, almost all run by little entrepreneurs. The issue is furnishing plutonium to private sector people.

I'm sure there's no way this could possibly go wrong. I can't wait until I can buy a new computer that emits gamma radiation.

May they all die of radiation poisoning.

As long as they're asking themselves "Are we the baddies?" Because self-awareness is the most important thing 😄

Is gremlin supposed to be Palmer Lucky?

Then there’ll be warehouses full of discount Herman Miller chairs and warheads.

I've gone back through YEARS of their posts on Bluesky and Twitter and I can't find this post at all. Either they never made it, or they deleted it. Whichever is the case, I wouldn't trust a cropped image of a social media post without anything to back it up. This post should probably be removed unless a credible source can be cited.

I played Shadow Run back in the 90s. I know where this is going, except we won't get cool magic.

Well. That's cos tech billionaires are not Muslim. /s

Cool, so when does Vault-Tec begin constructing Project Safehouse so they can drop these and start the Great War? Seems we're on track for it now

This leaves much to be desired and I will venture out to find answers to the following questions:

• what are the requiremnts for private companies to recieve plutonium?

• what quantaties can be recieved?

• are there any start-ups already in the program?

• what are they planning to do with the plutonium (it's fairly obvious, but a girl can dream)

• who pays for that shit? Like it is feckin expensive?

• will the demon core be part of the distribution? >:) ( I won't research that. Partially because the official story is that it has been molten down and reintegrated into the US stockpile. And I do not wish death by blue lightning on anyone. Aside from that, I am not even sure the core was plutonium or a different metal)

Ah yes, the endlessly reliable screenshot of a xitter account called "factpost."

Links children, we need links to real sources. This is just something someone said.

If this is real I'm at a loss for words, this is a terrorist state.

Trump isn’t attacking billionaires. At least not until they all stop protecting each other.

This is why we don't see new 007 films. We know how the nukes get into the hands of the eccentric billionaires. Spies are obsolete.

Is there actually a source for this? It doesn't seem unbelievable in this day and age but there's a wide gap between supplying plutonium for tech startup power (as in electricity) fantasies, which they've openly talked about, and letting Palmer Lucky build nuclear-armed drones.

Hmm I think I saw this on the Fallout tv show

But you see... billionairres will save us!

They are just making sure there are nuclear weapons accessible to them if the people try to vote them out of power.

I might be mistaken, but I think the intention is to provide fisile material for small form-factor reactors for data centers.

They gave nuclear tech to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys

freedom eagle cry

So where do I get in on this? I want to be the wacko with a small nuclear reactor powering my house.

Government isn't free market by definition.

And BTW Kodak got it first (weapons grade enriched uranium in their case)
