Trump Media and Technology Group, known for Truth Social, announces a surprising merger with TAE Technologies, a fusion energy company, in a six billion dollar deal. This transforms a social media company into a deep-tech player, aiming to address AIs power demands. The merger, expected to finalize in mid-2026, would create one of the first publicly traded fusion energy firms. Trump Media commits $200 million in cash, with another $100 million due when paperwork is filed. TAE receives a substantial cash injection and a direct path to the Nasdaq. This tie-up comes as tech companies seek more power amid AI data center growth. TAE focuses on fusion, the process that powers the sun, producing almost no long-term waste and cannot suffer a meltdown. TAE plans to begin building a fifty-megawatt pilot plant in 2026, aiming to scale up to much larger facilities. This merger represents an unusual bet in the energy sector, suggesting the future of AI revolution might depend on solving the energy crisis.
