Well it is official now.. I want to again express my sincere appreciation to President Donald J. Trump @POTUS for nominating me to lead NASA, and to the United States Senate--and Chairman Cruz @tedcruz - for their diligence and fairness throughout the confirmation process. I am grateful to Secretary Duffy @SecDuffy for his leadership as Acting Administrator during this transition, and to my wife Monica, my family, my friend Senator Sheehy @TimSheehyMT and everyone who offered their support along the way. As I step into this role, I make these personal commitments: – Mission: I will champion the bold objectives of human space exploration, scientific discovery, and a thriving orbital economy that ensures America’s leadership in space. We will never again give up our capabilities to reach for the stars, and we will never settle for second place. – Integrity: I will serve responsibly, transparently, and without personal gain, covering every cost I am legally permitted to, and fully adhering to my ethics agreement. My loyalty is to my country, my President, and the space agency that has inspired me since I was a child. – Urgency: I will intensely focus the agency on achieving the near-impossible, the very reason NASA was established in the first place. We will eliminate the bureaucracy that impedes progress and empower the best and brightest to take ownership, move quickly, accept smart risks, and act with a relentless focus on mission success. – Inspiration: Every launch, every scientific breakthrough must inspire the next generation to dream bigger, to reach higher, and believe that anything is possible. In addition to my existing philanthropic efforts, I will donate my salary as Administrator to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp to help prepare the pioneers of tomorrow. I am humbled by this opportunity, proud to serve, and ready to work alongside the most talented minds in America as we continue the greatest adventure in human history. Sincerely, Jared Isaacman NASA Administrator

Haven’t seen this mentioned, so wanted to highlight that your 7% LAE-ratio is much more impressive than you’re taking credit for, considering that pet (much higher claim frequency) makes up ~1/3 of your IFP. Obsessing over user-experience / automation unlocked leading NPS + Operational Efficiency (before economies of scale!).. Growth, flywheels & network effects are fun.. & insurance’s price elasticity is high😉 Well executed, Shai & team!

Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities. The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations. To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality. And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further. NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history. Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸

As Exec Chair, the hand-to-hand combat of earnings day falls to @tlaubers -- but I am proud of the @Shift4 team for delivering another quarter of record results. We do things very differently and like usual--it takes the market time to figure it all out. Hard to believe it has been 5 years since our first earnings report as a public company: - Q2 2020: ~$4B in volume → Q2 2025: ~$50B - From 1 country to processing across 6 continents - $14.8M adj. EBITDA → $205M - From mostly restaurants → now we are #1 in sports stadiums, #1 in hospitality, #2 in restaurants and rapidly growing in luxury retail & ecommerce. - Most of the top luxury retailers, sports stadiums, theme parks and hotels/resorts you would want to visit are Shift4 customers. - $150B customer pipeline → now advantaged w/over $1T in volume to monetize (not counting the addressable market our products serve) - I was asked in 2020 by an investor where we would be in 5 years. I said tracking toward $1B in EBITDA. Our 2025 guidance midpoint is just under $980M (not including SmartPay). Thanks to a great team and a lot of hard work - that prediction is looking pretty accurate. This is the #Shift4Way. We picked the verticals we aim to conquer, and we are unapologetically running a playbook refined over 26 years in business. With strong FCF, low leverage, and plenty of firepower--we are going to be winning this game for a very long time.
Shift4@Shift4

We’re excited to share our Q2 2025 financial results: investors.shift4.com/news-events/pr… Here are some of the highlights: 📈 We achieved Q2 records across all of our major KPIs, with payment volumes, gross revenue less network fees, and adjusted EBITDA growing 25%, 29%, and 26%, respectively. Notably, this was our first quarter with over $50 billion in volume! 🏨 We signed signature hospitality wins like the Corner Collection, the @goldengatevegas, @CircaLasVegas, Blackcomb Springs, @camelbacklodge, @CapitalVacays, Ponte Vedra Beach Resorts, and many more. 🚀 As @SkyTabPOS continues to increase momentum, we're well on track to meet our goal of 45,000 system installs globally in 2025 – including over 1,000 international restaurant and hospitality wins being signed every month across the U.K., Ireland, and Germany. 🌍 We closed on our landmark acquisition of Global Blue, taking an important step toward becoming a truly global company and expanding our geographic footprint to 75+ countries, including Australia and New Zealand. 🏟️ In sports & entertainment, we signed the SSA group, with 15+ zoos and aquariums across the U.S., the iconic @Glastonbury Festival, and expanded our relationship with the @Cavs to include both F&B and ticketing. We also added @Lions, @universityofky, @uofl, and @uarizona, along with many other sports & entertainment venues. $FOUR #BoldlyForward

@bryan_johnson Hi Bryan, Have you done any research on Cold Plunges? Anecdotally, I’m benefiting from 5x weekly Sauna sessions followed by a 3-5 min Cold Plunge as a deterrent to stress Eager to learn more about the science to this sequence (or cold plunges outright) based on your findings

Is sauna worth the hype? There's evidence that sauna is a potential detox and longevity intervention with benefits to heart, metabolism, brain health, and skin. We’re going to put it to the test. Here’s what you need to know…🧵

I am incredibly grateful to President Trump @POTUS, the Senate and all those who supported me throughout this journey. The past six months have been enlightening and, honestly, a bit thrilling. I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the complexities of government and the weight our political leaders carry. It may not always be obvious through the discourse and turbulence, but there are many competent, dedicated people who love this country and care deeply about the mission. That was on full display during my hearing, where leaders on both sides of the aisle made clear they’re willing to fight for the world’s most accomplished space agency. The President, NASA and the American people deserve the very best--an Administrator ready to reorganize, rebuild and rally the best and brightest minds to deliver the world-changing headlines NASA was built to create. I have not flown my last mission---whatever form that may ultimately take--but I remain incredibly optimistic that humanity’s greatest spacefaring days lie ahead. I’ll always be grateful for this opportunity and cheering on our President and NASA as they lead us on the greatest adventure in human history🇺🇸

Hi Shaurya, This is very cool! I downloaded & used your app—the UI/UX is sleek & intuitive, well done👍 Anecdotal feedback; The AI hallucinated the gross calc… Receipt was for 64DKK net / 80 DKK gross (inc. taxes). AI output for “original price” was gross + taxes (96 DKK) & buckets the taxes (16) as savings.

In November of 2020, @BMT094 DMd me on X (then Twitter), telling me she was a new follower, Tesla investor, and Model 3 owner. Fast forward to early 2021 and we were talking to each other on the phone every night for hours, sometimes until 5 AM. About a year later, and after a few long in person visits, she did something only a crazy person would agree to do: she quit her job in California and moved from Santa Barbara to New Hampshire to live with me full-time. She had never experienced a true winter and had never seen a snowstorm. Boy, was she in for a rude awakening lol. One night it hit -23°F (-52°F with wind chill). Fortunately for me, she stuck around! In the coming days, we get married! It's been an amazing journey these past 4+ years together—and so much more to come! Thanks for always being there for me and being my biggest supporter. Love you, Barbara ❤️ And with that, for the first time in nearly five years of covering Tesla/EV news seven days a week, I'll be logging off and taking a short break. See y'all soon!

Felt strange to be on the sidelines for the earnings call but the @Shift4 team absolutely crushed it. - Profitable double-digit growth for 26 years through the best and most challenging times alongside record Q1 results. - #1 product in hospitality, #1 in sports and entertainment, #2 in restaurants (never satisfied with second best) and a growing global ecommerce capability. - Powering the most recognizable brands and processing payments across six continents - Best capital allocators in the business Proud of @tlaubers and the entire team for continuing to stack the wins.

I am new to politics and learning by the day, but one thing is clear—Senators on both sides of the aisle care deeply about @NASA and its inspiring mission to lead the free world in the peaceful exploration of space. I’m very grateful to President Trump @POTUS for this nomination, to the Senators and Chairman Cruz @SenTedCruz for all the questions—even the tough ones, to my fellow astronauts who showed up at the hearing in support, and most of all, to my family—who are on this rollercoaster with me and still smiling.

28 former NASA Astronauts have signed a letter to members of the Senate in support of @rookisaacman for the position of NASA Administrator. Jared’s experience and spirit is what NASA needs right now as we face a critical fork in human lunar exploration. “We believe that Jared Isaacman is uniquely qualified to lead NASA at this critical juncture.” “We urge the Senate Commerce Committee to hold Mr. Isaacman's confirmation hearing as soon as practical.”
