2,977 lights for 2,977 lives. A powerful tribute, 25 years later. We remember. 🕯️

Another Black Widow in theater !

🏭 From policy to the factory floor. We welcomed U.S. Rep. @RepMaxwellFrost to $UMAC in Orlando to see firsthand how we're scaling U.S. drone component manufacturing. On the factory floor, we talked automation, skilled jobs, and the policies helping strengthen America’s drone industrial base. ⚙️🦅 Thanks for visiting, Rep. Frost! #USManufacturing #DroneIndustry

Elon Musk sent every Tesla employee a memo that took authority away from their managers and handed it to them. He never asks for more hours. Every rule moves a decision closer to the person doing the work. Musk: “Excessive meetings are the blight of big companies and almost always get worse over time.” Companies have a role for everyone who creates process and no role for anyone who removes it. Meetings and approval chains survive because removing them was never anyone’s job. Musk: “Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding value.” Attendance has always been treated as proof of commitment. He made it worthless, and contribution became the only thing that counts in the room. Musk: “It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.” Ordinary manners protect whoever called the meeting. He moved that protection to everyone else sitting quietly with real work waiting on them. Musk: “Don’t use acronyms or nonsense words for objects, software, or processes at Tesla. Anything that requires an explanation inhibits communication.” Internal vocabulary converts knowledge into status and charges every newcomer a fee to participate. A company that speaks plainly can absorb talent at full speed. Musk: “Communication should travel via the shortest path necessary to get the job done, not through the chain of command.” Most good ideas die in transit, three levels below anyone with the power to act on them. Musk: “Any manager who attempts to enforce chain of command communication will soon find themselves working elsewhere.” The only threat in the entire memo. A manager who insists on being routed through is buying his own relevance with everyone else’s time. Musk put a price on it. Musk: “Always pick common sense as your guide. If following a company rule is obviously ridiculous in a particular situation, the rule should change.” Following a bad rule normally shields you. Exercising judgment exposes you. He flipped which one carries the risk, and every rule now has to earn its place against the person applying it. Every institution drifts toward protecting its own comfort. The ones that keep building are held together by people who rewrite the rules back down to something a single person can act on. Nothing on that list requires a budget, a headcount, or a title. You can run the entire memo from wherever you are sitting right now. Most people never test it and never learn it was permitted the whole time.

Looking forward to it !

🦅 Drone Dominance is moving from policy to production. Phase 2 is underway. The White House is bringing government + industry together. And the mission is clear: scale the U.S. drone industrial base. ⚙️ Motors. 🔋 Batteries. 📷 Cameras. It starts with the components. 🔗 breakingdefense.com/2026/08/… $UMAC #DroneDominance #USManufacturing

Love the drone in his hand!

Thanks Emil. Drone-dominance.io Gauntlet II starts today. 19 companies (including UKR best) compete in 20km strike and urban assault. China-free supply chain reqs exceed the law. Onshoring required for winners who scale. Unambiguous $ demand and unit cost. Good hunting.

🦅 A strong U.S. drone industry starts with what goes into the drone. New tariffs on imported drones and components, plus a new onshoring program, put greater focus on domestic manufacturing. Drone security is supply chain security. 🏭 Every component matters. 🔗 whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2… $UMAC #Drones #AmericanManufacturing

Made is USA is critical !

Q2 results are here. 🚀 $16.7M revenue (+687% YoY) 🏭 34.7% gross margin 💰 $229.6M cash 🇺🇸 Expanding U.S. manufacturing Helping build the domestic drone supply chain. 🔗 Shareholder Letter & Earnings Release: unusualmachines.com/press-re… $UMAC

‼️ EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW ‼️ WATCH: I interviewed Ukrainian General Andrii Biletskyi, Commander of the Third Army Corps and the Founder of the Azov Battalion, in Kharkiv, Ukraine. I used to believe the Azov Battalion was full of Nazis. But as it turns out, Azov has strict rules against hate, Nazism and and-Semitism is illegal in Ukraine, there are even Jewish soldiers in his ranks, and General Biletskyi’s Third Army Corps @Ab3Army is responsible for holding the largest portion of the frontline in Ukraine. He is a strong leader using innovative tactics to keep the barbaric Russian Army at bay and push them back into their own territory. Kharkiv is highly dangerous as it is just 30 kilometers away from the Russian border. Russian ballistic missiles land there in seconds without warning. Due to the danger, General Biletskyi rarely sits for interviews. I’m happy to have interviewed him for over an hour inside a bomb shelter. Watch the full interview here:

Excited to announce our new @blueops handle on X! Thank you @elonmusk. As you tell can by our @Tesla's and @Starlink's (2 on each USV), we're proud supporters!

Can’t wait to put some red cat drones on there !

@SecWar driving a portfolio pivot to drones as historic as ICBM buildout. Ingredients: $55B investment ask; learn from UKR; build overmatch + attrit mass; scale quickly, adapt weekly; @DeptofWar will be world’s best. Clear mission orders. $ well spent.
