Nuno Loureiro was assassinated yesterday

He was a professor + the director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center

 The X post you linked shares a claim about a French fusion engineer named François Moreau who allegedly died under suspicious circumstances shortly after a critical breakthrough in commercial fusion reactor technology. The post suggests this could involve foul play tied to energy industry interests, as the first viable commercial fusion patent would be worth trillions and threaten fossil fuel sectors.

However, after thorough searches across news sources, scientific databases, and related reports (including queries for "François Moreau" combined with fusion, ITER, reactor breakthroughs, or suspicious deaths in 2025), there is no evidence or credible report confirming the existence or death of a fusion engineer by this name.

• No matching obituaries, news articles, or announcements from fusion projects like ITER (based in France) mention a François Moreau in this context.
• Recent real fusion-related deaths or incidents involve other individuals (e.g., MIT professor Nuno Loureiro in a separate unrelated case, or historical figures like ITER's former director Bernard Bigot in 2022).
• Fusion energy news in 2025 focuses on technical progress (e.g., records in French WEST tokamak, ITER delays, private startups), with no reports of assassinations or suspicious deaths of key researchers.

This appears to be a hoax or misinformation, possibly fabricated to fuel conspiracy theories about suppression of clean energy technologies. Similar unfounded claims have circulated in the past about scientists in sensitive fields.Fusion research continues globally with major public projects (like ITER) and private efforts, but no verified events match this story.
