Elon Musk Criticizes Nuclear Energy
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently said that nuclear energy is not a good idea.
He thinks we should use solar power instead because the Sun is a huge, natural source of energy.
He said that making small nuclear reactors on Earth is silly when we have the Sun, which is a big fusion reactor in the sky.
Many people agreed with him, but some disagreed.
They said nuclear energy is reliable and can provide power all the time, unlike solar power which depends on the weather.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk's net worth reached $600 billion, and his company SpaceX is worth $800 billion.
