brief manifesto? sure - pro-tech, obv - anti-regulation -> pro-incentive - create physical tech (space/bio/energy/cities) - create art (emotional & aspirational) - pro-manufacturing, pro-mining - art is ideology, tend consumption & production - we can & should be fucking amazing

Easily the coolest thing I’ve ever seen a car do!!! Now this is impressive! I gotta learn more about the actual practicality of it… how can this be on the road?!? @elonmusk @Tesla

Rainmaker has raised $100M to become the world’s best lab for weather modification and atmospheric science. Thank you @noavctech @upfrontvc @DCVC @lowercarbon @DreamVenturesVC and other visionary partners. We are aggressively hiring and scaling our research org to create a flywheel of atmospheric data collection, synthesis, understanding, and intervention. We will solve the weather and we will set the stage for the terraformation of Earth. More in my essay below.

This week, @ActinideInc became the first startup in history to enrich uranium, producing HALEU, the fuel for next-gen and small modular reactors. We did it using Endurance, a particle accelerator that we designed and built in Texas. Endurance usually produces enriched Yb-176, a precursor for cancer therapies worth roughly $30,000 per gram. After a bulk Yb-176 delivery on July 30, we reconfigured Endurance for uranium.

Rainmaker just produced ~19M gallons of water in Alaska via next-gen cloud seeding over 3 hours of operations. We are the first company to provably produce precipitation in Alaska. As promised, we’ve linked our white paper and relevant data. In the future, Rainmaker will protect and restore glaciers with man-made snowfall. Immediately, this demonstration shows how Rainmaker will add new water to the Colorado River and Great Salt Lake in the coming months. We turned around this analysis and white paper just a couple days after operating. There are many data sources I want to deepen our understanding of the atmosphere and increase our provable production; we’re building the instruments to collect that data in subsequent operations. But at Rainmaker, we won’t tout LOIs, simulations, or lab tests. What matters is physically measuring that you’ve affected the atmosphere; proving that we’ve produced water. We prefer sharing only the tech that has proven to make more water for farms, industries, and ecosystems in need. Expect a regular cadence of these from us as we build the best atmospheric science lab in the world. Feedback is welcome in the interim. Rainmaker Century. rainmaker.com/blog/alaska-va…

I love this country. I’m proud of this country, its people, its history. I’m an American, and will die an American, and as long as we stand for it America, as framed and intended, will live. So stand for it. Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

I can’t believe Anthropic comparing their product to nuclear weapons 800 times backfired on them. I am shocked

We are going to build a Moon base

so glad this looks true to the book, and the visuals are already stunning - so excited for this!

America will never be the same.

Excited for the world to see more of our work at @eigen_ai. We're the team behind Alphawrite, the AI writing tutor supporting students at Alpha School.

Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus. If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely.

They've spliced woolly mammoth genes into mice. There are now... WOOLLY MICE. If you don’t wanna talk about this, we have nothing to discuss.

crazy that we have 4k hd footage of our nations first successful lunar landing since apollo

That feeling you get when you look out the window and realize you’re almost home! T-4 days until we land in the Moon. Blue Ghost will reach her final destination no earlier than 2:34 am CST on March 2. We’ll start the joint livestream with @NASA at 1:20 am CST, approximately 75 minutes before we touch down on the surface. Set your alarms here: youtube.com/live/ChEuA1AUJAY

WOW. FINALLY. Do you know how long those of us who actually get this have been waiting for someone to say it on a major podcast? And they didn’t miss the most critical part: Merchant Ships! THIS 👇👇

I'm beyond excited to share the trailer for "New Space" our first Frontier Film. It's almost 90 minutes, has 20+ interviews, and chronicles the story of space today. Out this Friday.

Can you feel it yet?
