Boom! 2 M shares of @SpaceX to the @TrumpAccounts of 2 M kids that will be held until they are 18. Thank you Gwynne & Robert for your extreme generosity. Every child an owner / shareholder in the American Dream! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🚀🚀 @WhiteHouse @MichaelDell

My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation. Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home. We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars. A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.

People are dying in Kyiv because it takes Lockheed more two years to make a Patriot missile. Missile parts are made in hundreds of baby factories scattered across congressional districts. We have a Congressionally-optimized supply chain which can’t win a war.

It takes 400 companies >2 years to build a Patriot missile. Perhaps this is why USA suddenly gave up in Iran. Incompetent manufacturing will cause us to lose future wars too. Boom is building vertically integrated factories that can do in 24h what otherwise takes years. 🧵

On this day in 1776 men signed their names to a document knowing it could get them killed. Today, VCs sign a term sheet, ghost the founder in 6 months, spend all day posting on X, and call themselves “builders”

Simply brokering an unauthorized LP secondary transaction in an @anduril SPV earned me more money than running a tech media newsletter the last decade This is insane

America will either collapse into a Communist hellscape whose leaders are pupetted by the CCP or flourish and become a 1000 year interplanetary empire that builds a Dyson Swarm and colonizes Mars. No middle ground.

LPs and VCs that liquidate their holdings early don't believe in the company and that's all there is to it. It's an extremely negative signal, I'm not sure why anyone would encourage this behavior in the market place

Replying to @mttgrmm @packyM
To clarify, Packy was not part of this transaction He did not sell his SPV, management company or carry USVC transacted with a handful of LPs directly who were looking for liquidity
