No, of course they don't. This is Sam Altman's fusion company, backed by Microsoft in 2023 with a signed power purchase agreement: either Altman has some serious dirt on Satya Nadella, or (more likely!) Satya Nadella is a gullible idiot who thought "Sam Altman is the Boy Genius Who Invented AI, so he can solve fusion too!"

(Remember this is same same Satya Nadella who offered Altman an unspecified CEO-level position after he got fired... while publicly admitting he didn't know why Altman was fired! If I was a MSFT investor I would be pretty upset about this.)

Presumably 2025 MSFT is more sober-minded about Altman. I wonder if they're gonna try to wiggle their way out of the PPA. Otherwise I am truly baffled.
