Trump Media, the company behind the social network Truth Social, has announced a merger with California-based fusion power company TAE Technologies. The newly formed organization will be valued at over $6 billion, with shareholders from both companies owning roughly equal shares. The merger represents a shift for Trump Media, as it moves into the field of nuclear fusion power. The companies plan to start construction on a fusion power plant in 2026, marking a significant step towards the development of this promising energy technology. Former President Trump, who previously owned a majority stake in Trump Media, has transferred his ownership to a trust managed by his son, Donald Trump Jr., before taking office. The merger aims to leverage the expertise and resources of both companies to advance the commercial viability of fusion power, which has the potential to provide a clean and abundant source of energy.
