The energy space race just got real.
Trump signed an agreement aimed at accelerating commercial-scale fusion technology, the same ultra-clean, limitless power source that governments worldwide are quietly treating like the next arms race.
Fusion is the energy of stars: no emissions, no meltdowns, and the potential to make fossil fuels and climate politics irrelevant overnight.
Scientists have been chasing this for 70+ years.
Now it's becoming a geopolitical sprint.
China is pouring billions into fusion research.
The EU has ITER. Private players like OpenAI-backed Helion and Jeff Bezos-backed General Fusion are racing toward the same goal.
Trump just staked America's claim.
Elon has long pointed out we already have "a giant fusion reactor in the sky called the sun," advocating for solar as the immediate path to abundant energy.
He's not wrong.
This isn't about "green energy."
This is about who controls the future.
Whoever cracks fusion first rewrites the geopolitical map.
Trump is betting that's going to be America.
