Elon Musk expressed strong disapproval of initiatives to create thermonuclear reactors on Earth. He believes that humanity is overlooking an already available and virtually inexhaustible source of energy.
According to Musk, the Sun is a "huge and free thermonuclear reactor" capable of meeting all of humanity's energy needs without the need for complex and expensive experiments.
The Sun is a huge, free thermonuclear reactor in the sky. Creating tiny thermonuclear reactors on Earth is complete nonsense. Even if you burned 4 Jupiters, the Sun would still provide about 100% of all the energy ever produced in the Solar System.

At the same time, he did not hold back his emotions, calling for an end to funding for such reactors.
Stop wasting money on these pathetic little reactors unless you openly admit that they are needed solely for your favorite scientific project, damn it.
