Helion
I understand that this is HN and being critical of big energy bets is kind of the community's second nature. But I'm missing the angle about how fantastic it is that so many private millions are sunk into unlikely energy bets. Energy is a big problem and for long time we looked primarily to governments to fund the hard research.I think this is among the best things someone like Altman can do with his money and I think it's awesome - even if Helion turns out to be Theranos-level nonsense in hindsight. He seems perfectly willing to lose his entire investment, likely an enormous sum of money. I think it's impressive and I hope it becomes some sort of hype among the ultra-wealthy.
