@flipper_net Will it still be manufactured in China and therefore empowering the CCP?

We're finally ready to talk about Flipper One — a project we've been grinding on for years and have rebuilt from scratch several times. Read blog post >> blog.flipper.net/flipper-one-we…

@zhovner Manufactured outside of China hopefully??

Today we officially announce Flipper One for the first time. It's a very exciting and scary moment. Our experience with Flipper Zero showed that genuine passion and love for what you do can lead to amazing results. There are about 1 million Flipper Zero devices in people's hands now, and that's incredible. We built a huge community around it and inspired people to explore new technologies — and pushed vendors to make safer, more transparent products. Flipper One is a deeply personal project. I've been thinking about the concept of a pocket Linux multi-tool for the last 10 years, but I always felt the available technology and components weren't good enough. It was important to me to release a product without compromises — one that's truly worth it. And now, it finally feels like the right time. There's a lot of uncertainty in this project, along with technical challenges and financial risks (like the current RAM chip crisis). I don't know if we'll be able to do everything we've planned, but we'll give it everything we've got. Thank you all, and welcome to a new adventure.

.@PalmerLuckey argues that the US has shifted away from hands-on engineering and manufacturing expertise, focusing instead on high-level design work while Chinese engineers handle the practical, technical challenges of building and refining products.

@blader It's excessively wordy and flowery. He could've gotten his point across without requiring readers to pull out a thesaurus every paragraph. "An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity"

i aspire to be able to write like this, wow.

It's absolutely crazy that this drone kit, currently under $1300, comes with a headset featuring the same displays as a Bigscreen Beyond, and onboard compute to playback the captured 8K 360° videos. Chinese companies operate under completely different supply chain economics.

I continue to be blown away by the number of RFQs uploaded to Noramark. Every single one of these is another part manufactured in the USA, another step towards reindustrialization, and zero marketplace fees! I'm very proud to be part of this.

@growing_daniel Why would you say that after release of Spark and Wangs interview on Core Memory?

What happened to meta AI. Did they just lay down and die

These kids are serial criminals with a callous disregard for life. If they are ever released from jail they will surely harm again. Austin PD, Travis Co. Sheriff Office & Manor PD did their job. Texas Dept. of Public Safety aided them. The DA & Court must do their job and keep these criminals behind bars. katv.com/news/nation-wo…

China is the second largest market in the world, so of course businesses want access to it. The problem is they don’t play by the same rules. For years, companies have dealt with intellectual property theft, uneven legal systems, and an environment where American businesses don’t get the same protections or leverage Chinese companies receive. That’s the real dilemma, how do you do business with a market that many now see not as a partner, but as a strategic competitor? That’s why tariffs and tougher policies have become part of the conversation. This isn’t about the Chinese people it’s about the actions and ambitions of the Chinese government.

Why is there suddenly such an aggressive push against American data centers and AI infrastructure? After seeing a major spike in coordinated opposition campaigns around our Utah projects, we conducted a digital audit and traced a large amount of the activity back to an organization called Alliance for a Better Utah, which has been pushing misinformation throughout Box Elder County about our data center developments. What’s even more concerning is where the funding appears to originate. After reviewing IRS Form 990 filings and tracing the network behind it, the money appears tied to Chinese linked funding channels connected through an organization called Arabella. Think about the incentive, if China is racing to dominate AI and compute capacity, why wouldn’t they want to slow American infrastructure down?

@Haas_Automation is the only US CNC Machine Tool OEM in global top 10. We need to invest and innovate here. Most of these companies were founded over a century ago. This is a key building block to rebuilding US manufacturing capability and capacity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@burkeanorder @JoelWBerry Tucker’s mindset is so insane.

This interview is so fascinating. You can tell how much Kevin O’Leary despises the idea of China gaining an edge over America in the AI arms race, and Tucker, by comparison, is totally apathetic on that question. He just doesn’t care. America’s place in the world, how much power we wield, how much leverage we exert, is simply not something he considers. He can’t even articulate a reason why AI data centers are bad. They just are. China monopolizing the AI compute market is a nonissue to him. Kevin O’Leary is, naturally, baffled by this. It really illustrates where Tucker’s priorities are: undercut American interests, restrain American power, and usher in a multipolar order by any means necessary.

@Cernovich You’re insane

Mark Zuckerberg did more to harm American than Xi Jinping.

@Osint613 Trump is living in a dream world if he thinks China will open up.

U.S. President Donald Trump: "CNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World’s Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China. In actuality, Jensen is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC’s reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, FAKE NEWS! It is an Honor to have Jensen, Elon, Tim Apple, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzmann, Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), Brian Sikes (Cargill), Jane Fraser (Citi), Larry Culp (GE Aerospace), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and many others journeying to the Great Country of China where I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to “open up” China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level! In fact, I promise, that when we are together, which will be in a matter of hours, I will make that my very first request. I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Distributed shipbuilding is how we rebuild America’s maritime industrial base. Proud to be working with VADM Gaucher and @USNavy to bring modern manufacturing and real production capacity to the fight.

All I want for @America250 is an “American Made Products” filter on Amazon dot com

@mahmoudkhalel Get the fuck out closer.

This is the due process the administration is offering me, corrupt and unprecedented: "Internal board documents obtained by The New York Times show that the case was considered high priority even before the board officially received it. “Please process as quickly as possible,” said another note, from October. Another document shows that the court’s chair — its highest ranking member — oversaw the case from early on." This story proves that the Trump administration's treatment of my case has always been corrupt and retaliatory. They put me through a sham immigration process while guaranteeing the outcome in advance. nytimes.com/2026/05/08/nyr…

@JimCoutre @PalmerLuckey Peppy said that. Slippy was just a little bitch.

@PalmerLuckey “Do a barrel Roll!”
