I'm excited to announce that @AmcaInc has raised a $300M Series B at a >$1B valuation, led by @CaffeinatedCap with major support from @LightspeedVP, @a16z, @Lux_Capital, and others. We're on a mission to reconstitute a supply chain that has too often put profit over country.

Sting said something that really stuck with me on CBS Sunday Morning: “All of us are in danger of losing our work to AI… everyone. Whether you’re an artist, a journalist, a lawyer — this technology could replace any of us.” His takeaway? The only thing that will truly save us is community — supporting the people next to you, looking out for each other. In a world racing toward automation and isolation, real human connection and mutual support might become our most valuable currency. I’ve been feeling this more and more lately — no matter how advanced the tools get, the relationships we build are what actually anchor us. What do you think — is community the real answer to surviving the AI revolution, or is there something else we need?

Apparently ~160 people in Austin, TX may make $100M+ from the SpaceX IPO. 12 will clear $1B. Don't sleep on Austin - that's a lot of capital formation, very quickly.

UPDATE: @RenPhilanthropy is officially two-years old and we have been busy! In particular, I am heartened that our model for time-bound, thesis-driven, philanthropic funds is meeting the moment for donors and doers. My huge thanks to all of our partners for betting on us.
Tom Kalil@tkalil2050

I am very proud of the progress that @RenPhilanthropy and its partners have made in our first two years – $533 million in funding for science and technology, launching more than 20 programs, training 45 scientists and innovators to design transformative, ARPA-style programs, partnering with the UK, German and Japanese governments, and publishing our first 10 playbooks on the “how” of innovation. Our field strategists are accelerating progress in areas such as AI for fundamental math, AI for early literacy, geologic hydrogen, stabilizing the Arctic climate, low-cost space telescopes, and open-source software for life sciences. Thanks to all the philanthropists, foundations, and governments that have supported our work – and please reach out if you’d like to collaborate. The best is yet to come!

Tomorrow I'm sitting down with @nateliason, founder, writer, and the man behind @AlphaSchoolATX - a new entrepreneur high school opening in NYC this fall. Tuition is $150K a year. The promise: every student makes $1M in gross profit by graduation, or the family gets the tuition refunded. To explain why a school like this needs to exist, Nat starts with one word borrowed from pro wrestling: kayfabe. The fake fight everyone agrees to take seriously. He thinks that's exactly what school has become for almost every kid in America. This clip is the case.

Everyone building where there will be more than 50 employees should read this.

Jensen Huang pays his top executives the exact same dollar amount. Same number for 55 people. He opens Excel, types one figure, and drags it down. Nvidia crossed $5 trillion on Friday. Performance reviews go unwritten. The standing one-on-one cadence that anchors most CEO calendars simply doesn't exist, and information flows to all 55 directs at once or not at all. The man running the world's most valuable company threw out the entire CEO operating manual. The conventional read is eccentricity. 55 directs blows past Dunbar. The identical pay surrenders talent retention as a lever, and zero scheduled 1:1s skips the most basic CEO ritual in the management playbook. A board reviewing this on paper would fire the CEO. What reads as three quirks is one architecture. Each rule removes a specific class of executive politics that traditional companies spend 40% of CEO time managing. Identical pay removes compensation negotiation as a variable. There's no "I should make more than Ajay" conversation, because the conversation has no surface area. Nvidia's most recent proxy shows Colette Kress, Ajay Puri, Debora Shoquist, and Timothy Teter all receiving the same $1.5M cash bonus this year. Identical to the dollar. Skipping one-on-ones removes information asymmetry across the entire executive layer. Every exec operates on identical intel, because Jensen never says anything to one of them that the other 54 don't also hear. Status games inside executive teams need private information to function. Jensen made every piece of information public. 55 directs forces a flat structure. A Fortune 500 with 5-7 directs per manager typically runs 9-10 layers deep. Nvidia runs roughly 3-4 layers from Jensen to a senior individual contributor. Information that takes a quarter to move at Microsoft moves in a single meeting at Nvidia. The deeper trade is what most people miss. The traditional CEO spends 30-40% of their week on executive management overhead: 1:1s, comp reviews, conflict mediation between directs, performance plans. Jensen runs the same headcount with effectively zero of that. His management system IS the engineering meeting. Every exec is a co-designer in real time. Management happens as a byproduct of the work. The Excel drag-down is the most surgical move in the system. Differentiated executive comp creates permanent political machinery. Every cycle, every exec compares their number to their peers, recalibrates relative status, and adjusts behavior accordingly. Jensen looked at that entire machinery and unplugged it. The whole architecture was designed for the moment money stops working. Once a senior Nvidia exec clears $50M+ in vested stock, comp differentiation stops functioning as a motivational lever. It becomes noise. Jensen built the system as if money was already off the table from day one. $5 trillion is the validation. The most heretical management architecture in the Fortune 500 sits on top of the most valuable company in the world. Nobody else will copy it. The system requires a CEO with no executive favorites.

⚠️ DIE KOMPLETTE TRUMP-LISTE - HIER SIND DIE MILLIARDEN, DIE WIRKLICH GEFLOSSEN SIND! Ich habe zwei Tage gebraucht, um sie zusammenzutragen, weil die Beträge an zwanzig verschiedenen Stellen versteckt sind. Nebeneinander gelegt versteht ihr, warum das Weiße Haus auf jede Frage mit Schweigen antwortet. Die Quellen sind SEC-Filings, Blockchain-Daten, BBC-Recherchen, Reuters und Bloomberg. Jede einzelne Zahl ist öffentlich nachlesbar. ⚠️ 17. Januar 2025. Drei Tage vor der Amtseinführung launcht Trump seinen eigenen Memecoin. Zwei Entitäten der Familie (CIC Digital LLC und Fight Fight Fight LLC) halten 80 Prozent der Token. Am zweiten Handelstag steht die Market Cap bei 14,5 Milliarden Dollar. Allein in den ersten zwei Wochen fließen laut Blockchain-Analyse über 350 Millionen Dollar an Trading-Fees an die Trump-Entitäten. Retail sitzt heute auf über 85 Prozent Verlust. Die Familie behält die Fees. ⚠️ 19. Januar. Zwei Tage später kommt der Melania-Token. Peak 13 Dollar, heute 15 Cent. 99 Prozent Crash. Insider, die vor dem Launch positioniert waren, haben zweistellige Millionenbeträge abgezogen. Wer das war, weiß wieder mal niemand. ⚠️ World Liberty Financial. Das DeFi-Projekt der Trump-Familie. 550 Millionen Dollar im Token-Sale eingesammelt, rund 300 Millionen davon aus dem Ausland. Die Familie kassiert 75 Prozent der Revenues. Justin Sun investiert 75 Millionen und kurz darauf pausiert die SEC die Untersuchung gegen ihn. Eric Trump sagt wörtlich in einem Interview: WLFI hat hunderte Millionen für die Familie generiert. ⚠️ März 2025. WLFI launcht den USD1 Stablecoin. Innerhalb weniger Wochen springt die Marktkapitalisierung auf 2,2 Milliarden Dollar. MGX aus Abu Dhabi wickelt ein 2-Milliarden-Dollar-Investment in Binance über USD1 ab. Zufall natürlich. Die Zinsen auf die hinterlegten Tresauries fließen an, richtig, die Trump-Familie. ⚠️ Eric und Don Jr. gründen American Bitcoin, eine Mining-Firma. Über SPAC an die Börse gebracht, Bewertung im Milliardenbereich. Parallel unterschreibt Trump eine Executive Order für die Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Mining-Aktien rallen sofort. #Bitcoin läuft auf neue Allzeithochs. Die Familie hält Mining-Bestände, Treasury-Positionen und Policy-Hebel gleichzeitig. ⚠️ Trump Media & Technology. Trump hält 53 Prozent. Im Herbst 2025 verkündet DJT eine Krypto-Strategie über 2 Milliarden Dollar Bitcoin-Treasury. $BTC steht über 100.000 Dollar, die Aktie pumpt um zweistellige Prozent, Trumps Papier-Vermögen springt um hunderte Millionen nach oben. Niemand außer der Familie wusste vor der Ankündigung Bescheid. ⚠️ Die BBC hat fünf Pre-Announcement-Patterns dokumentiert. Öl-Futures 580 Millionen vor der Iran-Pause. S&P-Futures 1,5 Milliarden vor dem Iran-Post. Ceasefire-Trades 950 Millionen. Hormuz-Öffnung 760 Millionen. Tariff-Pause im April über 900 Millionen an Vortages-Wetten. Aufaddiert sind das über 4 Milliarden Dollar an Positionen, die Minuten vor Trump-Tweets platziert wurden. 100 Prozent Trefferquote. ⚠️ Don Jr. sitzt im Advisory Board von Polymarket. Gleichzeitig strategischer Berater bei Kalshi. Die zwei Plattformen, auf denen die anomalen Wetten laufen. Die Familie verdient an den Plattform-Gebühren, während Wallets zehn von zehn Treffer landen. ⚠️ SEC stoppt die Binance-Klage, kurz danach nutzt Binance USD1. Der Genius Act legalisiert Stablecoin-Yields, direkt zugunsten von USD1. Die Crypto Task Force wird von David Sacks geführt, einem Trump-Donor. Jede Policy-Entscheidung seit Januar 2025 landet als Cashflow irgendwo in der Familie. Die Gesamtrechnung. Mindestens 1 bis 2 Milliarden realisierte Cash-Einnahmen über Memecoin-Fees, WLFI-Sale und Plattform-Beteiligungen. Dazu 4 bis 5 Milliarden in anomalen Pre-Event-Trades, die formal niemandem zugeordnet werden, aber auf Konten landen, die jedes Mal im richtigen Moment Bescheid wissen. Dazu zweistellige Milliarden an Papier-Vermögen über DJT und Krypto-Bestände. Alles öffentlich dokumentiert, alles mit Deal-Kette und Zeitstempel belegbar. Wenn du in Frankfurt einen Tipp von deinem Cousin kriegst und 2.000 Euro auf BASF setzt, stehst du vor Gericht. Wenn aus dem Oval Office Milliarden vor Kriegsentscheidungen verschoben werden, wird daraus eine BBC-Reportage mit dem Wort auffällig. Der STOCK Act verbietet exakt diese Geschäfte seit 2012. Null Verfahren. Null Verurteilungen. Das System funktioniert wie designed, nur nicht für dich. Sechs Milliarden Dollar Cash und Paper-Gains innerhalb von 15 Monaten. Und niemand wird in den Knast gehen. Merkt euch diese Zahl, wenn euch das nächste Mal jemand erklärt, wie die Regulierung in diesem Land ungerechten Reichtum verhindert. x.com/Smart_Money/st…

Former FDA staffer - “I recently left FDA due to the political pressure I was receiving to withhold my recommendation for approval for a drug that was intended for a rare disease. I was part of a review division that was constantly under pressure. Specifically for this recent example, we met frequently with Prasad and other FDA leadership who emphasized the drug should not be approved. However, from the review document and my experience, it would have been approved had it not been for the political pressure.”
