American Heroes. Pioneers in space & in giving. Worked hard. Took risks. Lived simply. Gave more than you took & left it better than you found it. That’s the way. Claim your kid’s account. Automatically get your shares. 🇺🇸🚀🤍 @InvestAmerica24 @TrumpAccounts
Robert and I are thrilled that our gift of over 2 million shares of SpaceX stock will be distributed to children’s Trump accounts in December!   Our initial gift (shares transferring to escrow as we speak) will go to 11 to 17-year-olds who live in zip codes with median family income (MFI) of $57,000 or less, and to those who live in zip codes with too few residents for an MFI to be reported in the census. These families should receive a notice by Monday.    In a few weeks, an additional gift will be finalized for eligible 11 to 17-year-old children in military families serving overseas, children in foster care, and more children whose MFI is $90,000 or less living in counties near our home in the great state of Texas.   Thank you to the incredible team @SpaceX, @Treasury, @IRS, @DellFdn, @GreaterHorizons, @InvestAmerica24, and the legal firms of Morgan Lewis and Gibson Dunn for working over the past few months to make this happen.   We are deeply grateful for the groundbreaking work that Brad Gerstner @altcap and @MichaelDell have done for the long-term financial security for millions of kids.   God Bless America!

Chris Power of @HadrianInc says in wartime simulations, the US runs out of munitions in about a week, and it takes 2-3 years to restock: "Out of every war game we run, we run out of munitions and missiles, whatever, in like six to seven days. And then it takes about two to three years to refill that battery of, 'Hey, you now have more missiles to shoot.'" "Every single war basically, if it goes hot, both sides throw everything they've got at each other over a time period. And it's basically then if it gets protracted, how fast can you reconstitute?" "We shoot all our missiles in one week and then we have none for two years. That is how kind of terrible the situation is." "The only thing we can do is focus on, honestly, attritable systems, because if you kill a carrier and they've got that range, there's nothing we can do about it." "A lot of attritable mass... We basically blow everything in the seven days. We got to have the manufacturing battery to be able to refill the clip extremely fast." @2112Power (September 2025)

For those of you striving to make your mark on the world, Kate is a good role model. She's rejects the status quo and chooses to understand the world in her own unique way. She's unintelligible to most. Add grit and hard work and you get something special.

I was 15 when I found this book at an airport and read it for the first time. It was the most formative piece of writing - finally describing a world I wish existed that was hard fought and won to build If you can find it, I highly recommend The Truth Machine
Neuralink’s first product is called Telepathy. It enables high-speed communication with computers or humans simply by thinking. Output bandwidth will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years. Read that sentence again.

While many people are "prepping" at the behest of our government for some undisclosed impending 72 hour to 90 day doomsday emergency, I urge you to actually take lessons in wielding a firearm and learn to protect your family
this is not a small group of people on the left anymore, but a large, dominant faction without whom democrats can’t win elections. and there is no debating them, because they aren’t interested in changing your mind. they just earnestly want you to die.

some exciting tech news this morning — anduril is building the first american-made computer in 20 years
Today, @anduriltech and @qualcomm announced a new laptop that will eventually be 100% made in America, a “first step” toward creating a market for U.S.-manufactured components and total technological self-sufficiency. Building computers in America should be a matter of “national pride,” says @PalmerLuckey. @JonasYDu reports 👇

Tomorrow on Cheeky Pint: Scott Kirby from @United breaks down the airline business for @benthompson and me: how they play the gate/slot contest, Starlink changing their competitive dynamics, and how everyone needs to stop outsourcing their thinking to surveys.

In investing, as in dating, if you don't want to be traunched, stop acting like you want to be traunched

If VCs don't want to be traunched they can simply commit earlier - it's not that hard Either way, the dynamic hasn't changed. One should hit up progenitors of funds and of family wealth first and the wealth managers later, if you want the best and quickest outcomes
Multiple tranches have now become a feature of Seed / A / B rounds. No longer an anomaly. Heard from a fund: "How dare <other-firm> try to put us in the second tranche! We are first tranchers!"

We took the NYC horse drawn carriage today through Central Park and I am super sad to report that I fully agree with the ban, as the horses are currently treated I never thought I would say this - but these poor animals are actually not doing that great
NYC Council bans horse carriages in veto-proof vote that will end 150-year-old Central Park tradition trib.al/qZwmUXA
