The morning after I won in 2014, my phone rang at 6:00 AM. No number. “Do you care to take a call from President George W. Bush?”

Election night 2018: I was announced the winner, went home, and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, some votes were counted wrong, the AP rescinded the call, and I lost the lead. By morning I had won again. We ended up winning by 926 votes. I didn’t know any of it happened. I was asleep. Hard work and being honest pay off. Sleep helps too.

The most demanding real estate project in history: building a Moon Base. @POTUS wants to know the people, the hardware, and how we’re tracking against the schedule. Artemis III is an incredibly demanding test mission, and a critical step toward an enduring American presence on the Moon.

Talked to Texas Monthly about AI. P(doom) is not zero. Near-term risk is bad actors using existing tools on critical systems. We can still build with it (homes, infrastructure, space) if we put basic checks in place. Full interview👇

Behind every number I post is a crew in the field. If you want to build something no one has built before, ICON is hiring.

The people behind the build. In the field every day, they are innovating, creating, and bringing the world technology and homes unlike anything built before.

Here's what the AI arms race in cybersecurity looks like in real life. Researchers at Wiz used AI to discover two serious flaws in PHP, a programming language that helps websites work behind the scenes. On vulnerable servers, hackers could break in without a password.

Palo Alto Networks identified more than 22 million internet-exposed PHP systems that could be vulnerable. That doesn't mean 22 million websites have been hacked. Here's why this matters: AI is finding hidden weaknesses faster than ever. Defenders can use it, but so can attackers.

If you run a website, ask your IT team or hosting provider: Are we using PHP? Is it patched? What's protecting us until it is? The folks at Palo Alto Networks, where I sit in an advisory board, have a helpful guide on what to do next: paloaltonetworks.com/blog/20…

Millions of PHP Instances Exposed - What Organizations Need To Do Right Now

Two critical vulnerabilities in PHP (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) have been published. Both vulnerabilities carry a severe CVSS score of 9.2 (more

Apollo 17 lost a rover fender, and the dust was so bad the crew couldn’t read the instrument panel. Gene Cernan said every other problem on the Moon could be overcome except dust. A landing pad stops the sandblast. A road keeps the dust on the ground. Both are made from the dust itself. Watch 👇

The material that almost beat Apollo is the material that could protect Artemis. Space Permanence Ep. 3 covers how the Olympus system is designed to turn lunar regolith into infrastructure, built right where it’s needed on the Moon.

A family comes home. The wall beside the door was printed. This is what the technology is for.

ICON exists is to provide advanced construction technologies that enable humanity to build in accordance with our highest values and to face our greatest challenges.

Icon delivered the world's first permitted 3D-printed home. We built the world's first and largest community of 3D-printed homes. We have provided shelter for the chronically homeless. Printed critical infrastructure for our nation. And developed a construction system to build on the moon and beyond. Take a look 👇

24 months → 9 months. $5.2 million saved. 10 U.S. Army barracks at Ft. Bliss. ~6,000 sq ft. per building. 560 beds for those who serve.

What would have taken 24 months took us 9 months to build these barracks at Fort Bliss, saving taxpayers $5.2 million. The same robotics platform is headed to the Moon. I was on Bloomberg this week 👇

Board meeting day at CFR. Three questions I’ve been thinking about lately: AI competition. America’s ability to rebuild physical industrial capacity. And what deterrence looks like when cyber, autonomy, and cheap drones change the economics of conflict.

One thing Chris Mundy and @hbomax get right with Lanterns ... To solve a murder in a small town, even intergalactic cops with the most advanced technology in the universe still have to get in a car, knock on doors, and ask questions to crack the case.
