Our piece “The Past, Present, and Future of Nuclear Power” highlights that Oklo and NuScale, the two listed SMR pure plays, carry a combined market cap of ~$9.2B...roughly 0.65% of SpaceX’s valuation. Neither has delivered a commercial unit. The difference is what each bet requires. With Oklo and NuScale, the reactor technology works; the delivery model has to prove itself. With SpaceX, the orbital data centers comprising the bulk of its valuation do not yet exist, and their demand rests on the AI sector’s circular financing bonanza. One is a bet on execution alone. The other is a bet on invention and execution, priced as though both have already happened. https://t.co/CWebKrOf97
