These C-17 Engine stands are about to get loaded up and head to Texas!
My mom sent me a nice throwback picture this morning. Some of us our just born industrialists. Supposedly I never wanted to take my work gloves off 😂
🚨 JUST IN - SCOTT BESSENT: "America is BUILDING things again." "For years, if you wanted to build a factory, a pipeline, a transmission grid, you were held up by permitting, and President Trump has given a mandate that these permits should get out within a MONTH!" "This is the…
Honored to have @SecDef Pete Hegseth share his vision for Reindustrialization with our audience last week. He inspired us with a Detroit-based, WWII slogan: "You make it Right...They will make it Fight." Sir, we WILL make it right, so you and our military can fight.
3AM wake up call to head home from the incredible @reindsummit. Many news friends made and optimism levels are at an all time high. Landed in Tulsa to get back to building. 🇺🇸 is back. Never bet against the USA!
Congrats to REINDUSTRIALIZE Team for another spectacular event. We all have an enormous amount to accomplish but your summit draws those with great internal drive motors, smarts and a desire to run hard. As a son of Michigan it is really encouraging to see Detroit coming back.…
How do we face our enemy? @joshuasteinman and @realErikDPrince at @reindsummit
Walking around talking to attendees, I heard a number of SMB owners say: "I'm just doing boring manufacturing work - nothing like these what these amazing startups are doing." TBH, doing manufacturing at scale is one of the hardest things to do well. It is not boring - it is…
Two extremely bright minds talking about the most pressing issues in the defense industry at the @reindsummit today. @JoshuaSteinman @realErikDPrince
Feel like Clark Kent putting on the Superman outfit when I put this badge on. @reindsummit Day One is blowing all expectations away. People here are modern day superheroes securing the future of the nation.
On the way to REINDUSTRIALIZE 🇺🇸 See you soon @reindsummit and fellow builders 🫡
The big problem with this graph is that as AI gets reduced to computation power, it further gets reduced to electricity to power the data centers that house the computation. The US is still ahead in model sophistication and quality but we are way behind on electricity…

I've been reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, and I just came across a paragraph that hit me harder than I expected.
Love to see this.
Today I was honored to be ceremonially sworn into office as @SecNavSpox. I am proud to serve @SECNAV in this once-in-a-lifetime administration. My father, a U.S. Air Force vet who served in Vietnam, held the Bible. Proud to continue our family’s service to this great nation.

I've seen 30 people on my flight using ChatGPT. Even the grandmas! Incredible to see AI get adopted so broadly.
It's great to see all the early-stage investors attending @reindsummit this year. Capital is moving in, and American manufacturing supremacy is making a comeback. Life is good.
