Now building Ford Energy (BESS). ex-Stanford GSB, Astra Space, EVs. Some views my own but most stolen from smarter people. Forbes 4.75 billion under 40

5,000 unicastings and counting!

For our new affordable midsize electric truck, the @Ford Fathom, we aren't stripping out features customers want. We're innovating. We have fundamentally reimagined how we design and manufacture vehicles to make them more affordable.

These aluminum castings replace 146 structural parts with just two, reducing weight, improving efficiency and enabling our new Universal Production System at the Louisville Assembly Plant, which allows us to build major sections of the vehicle simultaneously before bringing them together.

Great progress by our teams! Excited for what's ahead!

At @Ford, we want to make the best technology available to the many, not just the few. We want to make products that have great tech, while still being affordable.

In 2027, our new electric truck, Ford Fathom, is going to show that it’s possible to deliver an incredible vehicle with incredible tech and incredible value. One technology I’m excited to announce is coming to Fathom is bidirectional power and the ability to use your vehicle to power your house.

Our team of amazing engineers developed a better, more efficient and more affordable way to bring more than 10 kW of home power—without a separate wall-mounted inverter—to a truck with an MSRP below $30,000.

Making the technology more accessible is one part of the work. We’re also working with utilities to make connecting these vehicles simpler and scalable.

Thanks to American Electric Power, @bchydro, @ConsumersEnergy, @Exelon, and Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (@PGE4Me) for being among the first utilities to work with us.

My former boss, his wife, and kid were crushed to death, completely mutilated, by one of these commercial drivers who should never have been in the country. Left behind two kids orphaned. These lawsuit payouts should be 1000x higher and the execs should be in prison for murder

If you think France has fallen from a great height, let me significantly raise the altitude.

In the 1980s France:
- Connected 43 nuclear reactors to the grid
- Launched the TGV, setting a 380 km/h world speed record.
- Developed Ariane 4, capable of launching 4.5-ton satellites.
- Helped launch the Airbus A320, pioneering digital fly-by-wire controls and creating a Boeing competitor.
- Rolled out Minitel, enabling online banking, shopping, and messaging.
- Launched SPOT-1, capturing satellite imagery at 10-meter resolution.
- Pioneered chip-based bank cards, transforming electronic payments.

Complete collapse of a technology and industrial superpower

France built 42 nuclear power plants in the 1980s. 42!! What an insanely inspiring country this used to be.
