Wasn't it rather common for the time to fantasize about everything being powered by nuclear reactors? (Think: Ford Nucleon, ideas about civilian nuclear powered ships or aircraft)
I also don't get the Musk hate. That man created more than 100k jobs for Americans, made rockets land and cars go electric. And with "made", I mean that he enabled the engineers at these companies to do what they did. If you don't believe that then mentally substract Musk from SpaceX or Tesla and ask where they would they be today? (Answers: Tesla would have died in 2004 or soon after because Tesla was not much more than an idea back then and SpaceX would have never existed at all).

People either have a reduced risk of infecting themselves and others like the vaccines provide it or they do not. Reality does not care about believes and concerns. If one ignores reality for too long, it will biff one right on the nose.
