@AOC @GovKathyHochul A year from now will be too late to attract any meaningful companies. In the long run you will damage the state of New York with these anti innovation policies and you won’t get anything to benefit anyone

Thank you for your leadership, @GovKathyHochul. A data center moratorium gives lawmakers time to put strong protections in place and guarantee AI benefits all of us, not just a powerful few.

New York is the first state in the nation to enact a moratorium on data centers, pausing construction on new facilities for one year. "I need safeguards in place to protect New Yorkers," Gov. Kathy Hochul said. cbsn.ws/4bIN10e

Looks like VCs are finally back to investing in real things that advance civilization instead of shitty photo filter apps circa 2010-2018

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins. America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. That’s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/TerraFirma-Inc…

Y’all aren’t prepared for what’s happening in Central Texas right now. We’ve got an insane cohort of founders quietly starting hardware behemoths left and right. The next decade is going to be insane.

Three weeks ago, the @Saronic Corsair brought two American aviators home. Last night, Corsairs hit Bandar Abbas in the first US sea drone combat strike. Look out for more news on Saronic soon; they aren’t resting on their laurels. Just getting going. Proud of this team 🇺🇲
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM

Yesterday, using multiple one-way attack surface drones, CENTCOM forces successfully struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility in Iran. Three Corsair unmanned surface vessels hit the port at Bandar Abbas Naval Base, marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations. Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial shipping.

I just want to bet on America from here on out. I’m all in on the next 250 years. Then I’ll re evaluate the western thesis.

Neros is building exactly what the U.S. actually needs: made-in-America FPV attack drones (the Archer) with zero Chinese parts, at real scale pushing toward 100,000 run rate by year-end. Already fielding with the Marines, Army, SOCOM, and Ukraine. @soren_ma and the team @neros_tech are killing it. Attritable mass, built here, at rate, that's the whole game. Not an investor, just a big fan.
