All joking aside, there is something thoroughly fucked up about this.

What's fucked up is that we let these rich fucks threaten us with extinction to boost their stock prices.

Imagine if some cold fusion scammer was permitted to gleefully boast that his experimental cold fusion plant in the middle of a major city could blow it up. Setting up little hydrogen explosions, setting up a neutron source just to make it spicier, etc.
