# Musk says small nuclear reactors 'super dumb'

Musk weighing in on nuclear reactors in a tweet:

-   _The Sun is an enormous, free fusion reactor in the sky. It is super dumb to make tiny fusion reactors on Earth._
-   _Even if you burned 4 Jupiters, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all power that will ever be produced in the solar system!!_
-   _Stop wasting money on puny little reactors, unless actively acknowledging that they are just there for your pet science project jfc._

Musk's Grok is a huge energy suck. Sounds like his plan is to over the earth in solar panels?
