I'm happy to see lots of investment in fusion. As a fission guy, I know that plenty of challenges remain even after you get your first net energy out, such as getting it out economically. In fission, there were more than 20 years between these milestones (first chain reaction in 1942 from CP-1, first competitive power in 1965 from Oyster Creek).
As such, some skepticism in people's timelines is always warranted. I'm reminded of the voodoo fusion article. https://vixra.org/pdf/1812.0382v1.pdf
