For the first time since leaving Loom, I am truly content with where I am in life. And I don’t see that at odds with being hungry for more.
Congratulations Jordan and Antares team! From the moment we were discussing you wanting to break out of software into nuclear to now. Absolutely insane. Don’t really know how to describe how inspired it makes me to watch you and the team continue to crush after years of focus and dedication.
We won the race to criticality, but the most important race is the race to commercialization. We’ve always sought to build WITH customers and not simply for them. We've raised $470M of capital in our Series C led by @paradigm and @caffeinatedcap, to invest alongside the U.S. Military to bring this technology to scaled deployment.

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability.
For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.

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.
Dear America,
Starting today, on the 250th birthday of our country, millions of children will now benefit from a new & powerful American birthright - a privately owned investment account from birth. Every child a shareholder in the great American economy!
American capitalism is the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known. It has unlocked unprecedented abundance for our country and untold life-advancing innovation. From clean food & water to cars & planes to vaccines & cures to computers & phones. Through depressions & world wars, through panics & pandemics, betting on America has been the best investment in human history.
But far too many hardworking families feel like they are on the outside looking in - like the American Dream has become out of reach.
The Invest America Act changes all that. Signed into law by President Trump it establishes the Trump Accounts - launching today - making every child a shareholder from birth. Every account seeded with $1000 in America's best companies - making every child a direct participant in our stock markets & American capitalism.
But it doesn’t stop there. Representing the best of our civic traditions, an unprecedented outpouring of additional private contributions into these accounts is already underway. Billions of dollars have been committed by philanthropists & corporations to tens of millions of children across the country. A new form of massive, direct philanthropy & corporate benefits directly to America’s kids is just getting started. From adopting all the kids of a school or organization to a city or state. America is the most giving country in the history of the world - and Trump Accounts provide a new open source platform to enable anybody to contribute to anybody.
Trillions of dollars will compound in these accounts over the next 20 years.
But this is about more than just figures on an account statement. By investing in the next generation, our country is providing tangible opportunities to all future generations of Americans: an education, a first home, the ability to start a business, and the foundation for a lifetime of savings. Trump Accounts provide hope to those feeling hopeless - unlocking unlimited human potential.
Trump Accounts do this through a massive public - private partnership that empower the individual not the state. They double down on free market capitalist democracy by empowering the individual rather than growing dependency on government. Aligning citizens with capitalism rather than pitting them against it.
Perhaps of equal importance, let us not lose sight of the fact that this is a movement that unites our country. Despite the many issues that divide us, this one big idea brings everyone together. From the most conservative to the most progressive leaders, we have found people of goodwill willing to step up and do the right thing to help the next generation.
Trump Accounts represent the very best of our democracy and the American promise issued two hundred and fifty years ago today. I am grateful to all those who have partnered with us to get this far and we dedicate our tireless efforts to make certain that the Invest America Act achieves its maximum potential. Let us advance into the future with a renewed sense of confidence, optimism and restored faith in the American Dream for EVERY American.
Happy 250th Birthday, America!

Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

Almost every great hardware engineer I’ve met has poured approximately 95% of their money and time into their car. And it has nothing to do with how much money they have. Strongly considering adding this to my interview diligence.
This is a rare occurrence when I get to both be happy for all my friends who are getting rewarded for their hard work and for humanity for getting to take part in something that is so obviously good for all of us. 🚀
Today, @SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX) makes its public market debut with a $75Bn offering (pre-greenshoe) at $135 per share, marking the largest IPO in history.
Congratulations to the SpaceX team. We are honored to serve as joint lead bookrunner and sole stabilization agent.
Right before we went head to head downtown sf weaving through traffic until Will was stopped in his tracks by a Zoox that decided to stall in the middle of an intersection. Core sf memory for sure.
“Transient multidomain functional improvement in advanced Alzheimer’s disease following high-dose psilocybin-containing mushroom administration: a case report”
Anyone use a specific platform that humanizes and summarizes important case studies and research articles? I hate how unnecessarily opaque and verbose research jargon is.
This is biblical.
A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.
Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.
She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
Big partner meeting. VC who clearly hasn’t been paying attention “How can you guarantee these unit economics? All based off some random patent?”. Me “well that’s my patent, which I explained two slides ago. But mostly based off physics which is the foundation of my patent?”. 10s of silence before my cofounder awkwardly clicks to the next slide and everyone pretends the exchange didn’t happen. 🤣
I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.
12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30+ minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.
I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.
You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.
It's a dance.
And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.
If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.
No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.
It is weird.
