Matthew George

We recently completed what we believe to be the first autonomous landing of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft in @EAA AirVenture history. Really proud of the team that made this happen, and big thanks to the EAA air and ground crews for their help to make this possible. Check out the press release below.

Excited to work with @ILAerospaceIAI on bringing autonomy to commercial cargo aircraft. Read more here. globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

@ammar_h57 The MAF is the backbone of airpower!

@NotMattGeorge Exciting platform I feel like autonomy on tactical airlift aircraft doesn’t get nearly as much attention as autonomous fighters, despite arguably having a clearer path to immediate / real operational impact. Fleet size, global operators, and long service life 🤷‍♂️ Solid choice

Trying to up our game a bit on showing you what we're working on, starting first with Oshkosh!

@ammar_h57 We're really excited about our work on the C-130J - the most common type of military transport aircraft in the world.

@NotMattGeorge Love seeing the progress on the Caravan. Looking a few years out, which aircraft do you think is the most exciting fit for Merlin Pilot after the C-208?

@surfkona I'm heading to Farnborough and unfortunately missing on the cheese curd tacos

@NotMattGeorge Oh yeah? Try the cheese curd tacos. ☠️

@Jamesdevo72 We're thinking through ways of doing a retail demo day in Quonset RI - lots of moving pieces, but hope to have something ready to share soon.

Thanks! Can shareholders try out the Merlin pilot?

The Merlin Pilot is enroute to OSH.

@financewithjoe Stay tuned! :-)

Hey @NotMattGeorge, Congrats on the new HQ! Just wondering if you have any updates regarding what us $MRLN investors can expected over the coming months that could act as potential catalysts or key dates to look out for? (I know you can’t give too much away) 😂

@packyM "Tweeting about Anduril SPVs is like saying 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" into the mirror but you get Matt Grimm instead of Beetlejuice."

Book says let sleeping dogs lie here. Don't amplify and it'll blow over. These things have a way of sneaky fucking with your reputation though. First things first, I love Anduril, and I love Matt's ongoing "call out SPV sleazeballs" series, particularly when I'm not the target of it. I had a lot of fun writing that deep dive on Anduril with the company, and have held them up as the Prime example of a Vertical Integrator. Also, [leo clip] i'm not fucking selling. I wouldn't and didn't "sell a slice of my SPV to USVC." USVC told me another fund had offered their LPs liquidity via USVC (directly to LPs, not GP selling a slice), that the company was aware and approved, and asked if they could offer the same thing to mine. I said yes. Should have confirmed that the company was cool with it, but a couple of texts was the extent of it. One (1) LP hit the bid and so USVC replaced them in the SPV. They did the transaction directly. I didn't sell anything - whether Anduril shares, management, or carry. I made $0 on this. Matt said they had no visibility on my fees and carry: 0 and 20, direct investment, not stacked, pretty vanilla. Again, love Anduril, and even love this crusade, but funds letting new investors buy out LPs who want liquidity is super common, don't require the approval of every company in the fund's portfolio, and i'm sure some funds invested in Anduril have let their LPs sell their LP stakes in the fund to new investors. Should Ankur have tweeted about it? God no. Poked the bear, sliced our hand and put it into the water next to Jaws. Tweeting about Anduril SPVs is like saying "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" into the mirror but you get Matt Grimm instead of Beetlejuice. Anyway, long Anduril, pry my shares from my cold dead fingers, etc... thank you for your attention to this matter.

@RaphiSavitz @Uzocapital @AboveAvgOdds @ShawarmaCapital I've never met Abel, but I'm willing to arm wrestle.

@Uzocapital @NotMattGeorge @AboveAvgOdds @ShawarmaCapital Great piece. How would you compare the leadership teams? Abel had a successful exit and had a long career in satellites.

In my first "Pattern Recognition" piece 3 months ago I laid out 10 similarities i saw in $EVC at $3 (+300% since) and $APP at $70 in June 2024 (now $515). In today's write up I lay out the 10 similarities i see today in $MRLN at $5 and $ASTS 3 years ago, at $5 (vs $89 today)

@pharmdaz Not weighing in on the argument, but definitely stealing this GIF.

@broblas Getting something from a cleansheet to certified is ~$1B cover charge at the door thus the conviction threshold has always been too high for someone to seriously do it right.

There HAS to be a use case for blimps.

@pharmdaz @thekelghor @MRLNFlightClub Most everyone is locked up (including me), we're all in this together.

@thekelghor @NotMattGeorge @MRLNFlightClub This is a fucking joke. Have to imagine their VCs are eating caviar and laughing at us.

Hey @NotMattGeorge - any progress updates on SOI3 that you can share with your retail investors? $MRLN @MRLNFlightClub

@pharmdaz @MRLNFlightClub Nothing that we can share publicly right now, but we're working hard behind the scenes. I hear you all.

@pronounced_kyle @katidahm hope HFM is next
