Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social, is set to merge with TAE Technologies, a Google-backed energy firm, in a deal valued at over $6 billion. This unexpected move will create one of the world's first publicly traded fusion companies, with plans to build the first utility-scale fusion power plant by next year.

• The merger is valued at more than $6 billion (£4.4 billion), with both firms holding an equal 50% ownership.
• Key figures include Devin Nunes, co-chief executive of the new firm, and Donald Trump Jr. serving on the nine-member board.
• Trump Media will provide up to $200 million (£149 million) in cash to TAE Technologies upon completion of the deal, with an additional $100 million (£74.7 million) made available later.
