🎉 WE HAVE CRITICALITY! 🎉

On June 4, 2026, at around 12:30 MDT, @AntaresNuclear’s Mark-0 microreactor achieved initial criticality at @INL.

It is the first nuclear test reactor to go critical under @ENERGY’s Reactor Pilot Program. Congratulations to Antares on reaching this historic milestone!

holy shit, more drone motor news! michigan made, no rare earths required, 360W peak power, 130 grams, and 9000rpm. fully american supply chain

[David Hansen 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 @boxcardavid]

Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale.

In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors.

Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers.

Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers.

Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market.

We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.

[Anhthu Nguyen 🇺🇸 @MissAnhthu]

At least 85% of modern industrial production requires actuators and magnets to drive automated factories and machinery. One of the hardest components of actuators to produce domestically is permanent magnets. One of the strongest magnet types requires rare earths like Neodymium (NdFeB). China controls 85% of Neodymium production and 94% of NdFeB magnet production. This is Niron Magnetics. They produce the world's first powerful, rare-earth-free permanent magnets made from Iron Nitride. They are out of Minnesota and customers are receiving magnets today.

Vision jet landing here last night as I left work

[Ryan @Call_me_Rodney]

Current job is near an airport and I’m loving it. Couldn’t snap a pic in time, but a privately owned L-39 Albatros flew over me this morning

[Ryan @Call_me_Rodney]

Dudes living the dream just flying loops around Michigan. Same airport I use in msfs.

One of my earliest memories is watching planes take off/land from here as a kid with my dad before moving. Took some discovery flights here recently too. Funny where live takes you

[Dustin Walper @DustinWalper]

I'm a simple man.

All I want is to build a generational company that brings heavy industry back to America at the largest possible scale.

[Ryan @Call_me_Rodney]

@alder_riley This is crazy

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

It is time to Reindustrialize America.

Pretty interesting program

[DARPA @DARPA]

Trash? We see treasure. 🌳 The Fleetwood program aims to turn agricultural & industrial waste into high-value chemicals.

We're building a secure, sustainable supply chain for U.S. manufacturing from abundant, renewable resources.
