MUSK: People were asking me in California, “Are you worried about a nuclear cloud coming from Japan?” I am like no, that's crazy. It is actually, it is not even dangerous in Fukushima. I flew there and ate locally grown vegetables on TV to prove it. ... Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they are full cities again.

TRUMP: That's great, that's great.

MUSK: It is not as scary as people think, basically. ...

TRUMP: We will have to rebrand it. We will name it after you or something.

-- Part of the interview/conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump last night on Musk's platform, X, which was initially marred by technical issues, and subsequently marred by the two of them talking. The above is taken from The Independent, which adds, for those like Musk who need it, “America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, destroying the city and killing 140,000 people. Three days later, it nuked Nagasaki and killed 70,000 more people.” Tom Nichols of The Atlantic wrote in response: “I am as big a fan of nuclear power as there is but this is a completely dumbass thing to say.”
