You should look for articles to back up a claim, not see if a social media post is still up:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/experts-warn-against-trump-plan-to-give-cold-war-plutonium-to-nuclear-power-companies/

Like, even if the post was real, that doesn't mean the post was true.

In this case, it's true.

And OP should have provided an article

That tells a wholly different story than the OP. The article says the government is moving nuclear material into private power to enable more nuclear power growth within the US. The image reads like Trump is giving Silicon Valley the ability to create nuclear bombs.

So, that said, my last line is doubly true. The post should be removed, especially now that we have a source, because the post is an fearmongering at best, and misinformation at worst.

No, you saw "start-up" and apparently focused on "social media" despite no one anywhere else talking about that.

The headline of that article is:

Trump plan to give start-ups plutonium harvested from Cold War–era nuclear weapons is risky, experts say

I have no idea how much longer it would take for you to understand this, but you're clearly going to keep misinterpreting things and making accusations trying to lead witchhunts.

There are plenty of places for that
