I kicked off my trip to Washington, D.C. by meeting with Canada’s Ambassador to the United States, @MarkDWiseman, to discuss how we can work together to make the case for a tariff-free trade in North America.

"The fact that I was talking to you the whole time and didn't pay any attention to the ride itself means that I think it's completely safe; I'm excited for Tesla. I'm excited for Tesla shareholders. I do think now, this slowly, slowly, slowly is moving into all at once."

🚨 SCIENTISTS HAVE CREATED A NEW FORM OF QUANTUM LIGHT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Researchers have observed chiral superfluorescence in engineered perovskite superlattices a collective quantum emission effect that normally requires extreme cooling to maintain coherence.
In this experiment, thousands of quantum emitters synchronized spontaneously, producing bright, coherent light that is also circularly polarized. The polarization direction can be controlled using weak magnetic fields, and the effect works at room temperature in scalable materials.
Why this matters:
Superfluorescence is a quantum phenomenon where many emitters act together as a single macroscopic quantum object, releasing energy in an intense, coherent burst. Achieving this at room temperature in a solid-state material is a significant step forward.
Potential applications include:
• Room-temperature quantum light sources for communication and computing
• Compact, low-power photonic devices
• Advanced optical sensors and quantum information systems
• Scalable platforms for studying collective quantum behavior
Most quantum-coherent effects are extremely fragile and demand cryogenic temperatures. This work shows that carefully designed materials can protect and harness these effects under practical conditions.
The deeper implication:
When large numbers of quantum emitters spontaneously synchronize, they behave as one collective quantum system rather than many individual particles. This kind of emergent behavior in solid-state materials at room temperature could open new routes toward quantum technologies that don’t require complex cooling infrastructure.

🚨 $ONDS NEW: THE US ARMY WANTS AUTONOMOUS BULLDOZERS, EXCAVATORS, SKID LOADERS, AND INDUSTRIAL UAS SITE RECON + SURVEYING CAPABILITIES🚨
The US Army just issued an RFI for robotic and autonomous construction equipment.
Autonomous dozers, excavators, skid loaders, UAS site survey, and integrated command and control 👀
$ONDS might be the perfect fit...
In March, $ONDS acquired INDO Earth Moving, a company that had just won a $140M military heavy engineering platform tender as prime contractor.
The tender covers dozens of heavy tracked engineering vehicles, long-term maintenance and sustainment for at least 4 years. Revenue is already coming in on this one.
However, that's not even the most interesting part:
The acquisition press release explicitly states $ONDS plans to integrate remote operation, autonomous navigation, advanced perception systems, and mission automation software onto these platforms 🤖
That is basically a word-for word-answer to what the Army is asking about in this RFI.
The site survey piece is also directly relevant:
The Army wants drones/UGVs to scout terrain, generate 3D maps, identify obstacles, and feed that data directly into autonomous equipment before the bulldozers move in.
American Robotics already does this for industrial and infrastructure operations, providing autonomous drone-in-a-box persistent site monitoring.
This RFI closes July 8th.
It's market research, not a contract, but companies that respond well here will likely get invited to the real solicitation.
$ONDS has the deployments, the defense relationships, the $140M program, the autonomy stack, and the assets to submit a credible response across nearly every question on the form.
The demand signal keeps getting louder and the portfolio keeps getting more relevant 🔥

Tomorrow, we're announcing the astronauts flying aboard Artemis III, the mission that will test rendezvous and docking capabilities with commercial lunar landers in low Earth orbit.
If you could ask the Artemis III astronauts any question, what would you ask them?

“It’s probably what keeps me up at night the most.” That’s IonQ’s head of R&D and he isn’t naming China’s algorithms or qubit counts.
He’s naming the supply chain.
On AFCEA’s “Disruptive by Design” intelligence series, episode 1, hosted by former DIA director Ret. Lt. Gen. Bob Ashley: Mihir Bhaskar, SVP Global R&D @IonQ_Inc (with CNAS’s Dr. Costanza Vidal Bustamante).
His argument is blunt. The supply chain doesn’t decide the physics in a lab it decides whether you can ever commercialize. You produce quantum computers on 12-, 18-, 24-month cycles, and that only works if your sources are reliable enough to keep cadence.
Three chokepoints:
→ Chips. Volume demands standard CMOS fabrication non-standard processes can’t deliver the quantity. IonQ’s answer is its planned @SkyWaterFoundry acquisition: a quantum-chip fab on US soil.
→ Lasers and photonics. US labs have sourced theirs from China for years “cheap and honestly quite reliable,” in his words. Scaling commercially means abandoning that for domestic or trusted-ally supply.
→ Cryogenics. When it takes “a year to get a cryostat every time you need one,” every development cycle stalls behind the wait. The delay compounds.
The contrast should sting: China has treated quantum hardware like a Manhattan Project for years. A decade ago it imported its cryostats, same as the West. Today it builds every one in-house. The US and Europe still run on a fragmented chain most lasers, cryogenics and photonics bought abroad, almost no local alternatives.
Here’s why quantum is still stuck in R&D:
A fragmented, foreign-dependent supply chain means you can’t build machines in volume. Too few real machines means researchers national labs, universities, companies can’t get enough time on hardware to find tomorrow’s useful algorithms.
So the field keeps proving concepts instead of shipping them.
It’s not the math holding quantum in the lab. It’s the materials.
That’s why massive investment in the hardware supply chain isn’t optional now. It’s the whole race.

🚨 ROLLS-ROYCE JUST RAN A JET ENGINE ON 100% HYDROGEN AND IT REACHED FULL TAKE-OFF POWER.
In a landmark test, a Rolls-Royce jet engine successfully operated at full thrust using only hydrogen fuel for the first time in history.
The engine was tested across a complete simulated flight cycle, including fault scenarios, proving that hydrogen can not only burn inside a modern aero gas turbine but can deliver the power needed for real commercial flight.
Why this matters:
• Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize
• Hydrogen produces zero CO₂ when burned — only water
• This test validates that hydrogen combustion, fuel systems, and engine controls can work together at full power
• It moves hydrogen aviation from theory into practical engineering reality
The deeper implication is huge:
We are now seeing the first real proof that large commercial aircraft could one day fly on hydrogen instead of kerosene.
While many challenges remain (especially hydrogen storage and airport infrastructure), this test removes one of the biggest technical doubts: whether a jet engine can actually deliver full power on hydrogen.
The race toward zero-emission flight just took a major step forward.
What do you think will hydrogen or battery-electric eventually power most commercial flights?

Taxes must be paid, but I am happy to have increased my position in Ondas by nearly 150% this year from 1.9M to 4.8M shares.
This reflects shares that I have both purchased (via the OAS exchange early this year) and now earned via RSU grants that vested this week, both net of tax considerations.
The shares I received this week where the first award I have earned since joining Ondas in 2017.
There is a lot more work ahead. 👊🏽
