Excited to announce a $30M oversubscribed fund. 🇺🇸

El Segundo is the world's best place to build hardtech and we're the pipeline for founders from across the world coming here to do it.

Joining @tbpn later today to share more.

If you're at the earliest stages of building hardtech for critical industries reach out now!

BREAKING: A Zero Bond member offered $2 million to get an invite to Michael Rubin’s July 4th White Party and was denied.

Founders Fund just backed a robot that kills fish.

Not software. @ShinkeiSystems built a physical robot for boats that uses AI to kill fish instantly, cutting stress and doubling shelf life.

The fish brand is sold at Erewhon and Michelin restaurants.

@foundersfund thesis: low AI bets, odd spaces, almost no competition.

Sometimes the strangest market is the most defensible one.

@litcapital I think a lot of socialism is predicated on financial illiteracy

The SpaceX memes today are elite.

me with the SpaceX cafeteria lady after she becomes a billionaire from the IPO

[Saif Naqvi @saiffery]

I agree! Stop @elonmusk and sell me some of his shares for 10 cents on the dollar.

Elizabeth you are a man of the people.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

[Saif Naqvi @saiffery]

@based16z In the end, it’s not about the $100s of billions you generate, but the friends you make along the way.

In a sign of the times: Mike Krieger might end up making more money from joining Anthropic than from selling Instagram

@endowment_eddie Told my dad I’m a Venture Capitalist and he thinks I fund international group excursions for students

[John Hyatt @John__Hyatt]

Tom Mueller was SpaceX’s first employee and built the rocket engines that helped make Elon Musk’s space empire possible.

Now, the billionaire engineer has a new bet: Impulse Space, a startup racing to build the fast lane for satellites, cargo and eventually people after launch.

My latest feature story in @Forbes takes a look under the hood of Mueller's grand ambitions in the emerging space economy. https://t.co/UE98tQ908a
