Boeing agreed to take a minority stake in Archer Aviation in a deal that hands over control of its flying-taxi venture Wisk Aero https://t.co/vBs2gqCaRt

[Adam Goldstein @adamgoldstein13]

Today, we announced a watershed deal to acquire three companies from @Boeing, @WiskAero , @Insitu_Inc, and @skygridai, in exchange for Boeing taking a strategic equity stake in @flyarcher and collaborating with us. After closing, our product portfolio will span piloted air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in Groups 2 through 5, purpose-built AI for aviation, and the vertical technology stack for autonomous flight.

The mission is even bigger now. It’s time to build.

Oklo CEO Jake DeWitte joined @MariaBartiromo on @MorningsMaria to discuss why Groves reaching criticality is about much more than one reactor.

Built in less than a year, Groves demonstrates a new model for advanced nuclear: build, learn, scale, and iterate.

As the fastest fully privately financed and built reactor project of its kind, it shows how industry-led innovation, supported by smart policy, can accelerate deployment while helping strengthen America's energy future and domestic isotope production.

Everyone wants to ask Elon about Mars.

I want to ask about Bastrop, Austin and the engineers quietly building the future in Texas.

@Oklo's Groves Isotope Test Reactor achieved criticality — a great day for nuclear in Texas and for domestic isotope production. Congrats to the whole team. @ENERGY 🇺🇸 #AdvancedNuclear #Nuclear

WE HAVE CRITICALITY!

Oklo has completed first criticality at its Groves Isotope Test Reactor.

Built in less than a year under the @ENERGY’s Reactor Pilot Program, Groves offers a concrete blueprint for future advanced nuclear deployment as the fastest fully privately financed and built reactor project of its kind.

Today, Oklo proves that advanced reactors can be built, started, and operated faster than anyone thought possible and shows the world that America can build nuclear again.

Today we're announcing our Series D: $1.37B in new capital at a $7.87B valuation to Reindustrialize America.

Thank you to all our investors. WCM Investment Management, @WashingHarbour, Valor Equity Partners, @137ventures, and @BaillieGifford led the round. @jpmorgan Chase's Strategic Investment Group acted as anchor co-lead, investing through the firm's Security and Resiliency Initiative. The round also included major participation by @1789capital, as well as participation from @MorganStanley Wealth Management, @apolloglobal, @TRowePrice, @a16z, @CapitalG, @foundersfund, @lux_capital, @AltimeterCap, @constructcap, and existing investors.

This round confirms our belief in a few simple things: America needs to Reindustrialize, Physical AI is real, transforming the world of atoms matters 100x more than the world of bits, and, most importantly, that the New American Workforce is the center of everything we do.

Here's what we've built, and what comes next.

[Hadrian @HadrianInc]

Great move by @DeptofWar — excited to see this commitment to the workforce that builds and defends America.

@mikeroweworks has been championing skilled trades for years. These jobs are the backbone of our country. Investing in them is investing in our future.

Three polls released in the last month show James Talarico leading the Texas U.S. Senate race by five points or fewer.

A political expert says the margin of error means the race is too close to call, but Talarico's consistent lead suggests he has a slight edge.
