General Fusion’s Wallet Hits Nuclear Fizzle, Staff Loses Seats
In a dramatic twist worthy of a meltdown scene, General Fusion announced it laid off 25% of its staff before frantically pleading for fresh funding in May. Their latest cash infusion is basically a scientific stay of execution, buying 'precious months' to chase those elusive fusion milestones. Because nothing says renewable energy like layoffs and begging for money, am I right? CEO vibes must be more 'fusion confusion' nowadays, as they try to keep the dream alive despite budget battles and shrinking teams.
