6 statements about Bob Mumgaard, every show

ALL-IN Prediction Not checkable as stated
Khosla: Commonwealth Fusion Systems is more likely to succeed than fail
“You'll be hearing from Bob Mumgaard, you know, four or five years ago invested in fusion. Now we may fail. I think we are much more likely to succeed sitting here today than fail, but it's possible.”
Vinod Khosla Sep 26, 2023 ▶ 23:40 All-In Summit: In conversation with Vinod Khosla
ALL-IN Assertion Supported
Friedberg: Commonwealth Fusion founder has raised over $2 billion
“He's raised more than two billion dollars from global investors.”
David Friedberg Sep 22, 2023 ▶ 1:08 All-In Summit: Nuclear fusion and the potential for energy abundance
ALL-IN Prediction Didn’t hold up
Mumgaard: CFS expects net energy fusion gain by early 2026
“And we'll start to assemble that machine later this year. And turn it on in this sort of, twenty-twenty-five time frame and get to Q greater than one, more power out than N for the first time probably early twenty-twenty-six.”
Bob Mumgaard Sep 22, 2023 ▶ 9:14 All-In Summit: Nuclear fusion and the potential for energy abundance
ALL-IN Insight
Mumgaard: Fusion power price depends on learning rates, not architecture
“Because that price of power, it's not so much architecture dependent, it's learning rate dependent, right? At the end of the day, the amount of stuff in these things is all about the same. And so, the faster you get there, the better your cycles are, the lower…”

Bob Mumgaard Sep 22, 2023 ▶ 34:13 All-In Summit: Nuclear fusion and the potential for energy abundance
ALL-IN Assertion Not checkable as stated
Mumgaard: Fusion modeling now equals predictive accuracy of airplane design
“We have predictive capability of these machines the same way that we have predictive capability of, like, how to build a plane, right?”
