Stellios Founder and CEO Richard Starson told us that fusion-powered space travel is closer than people think, and that trips to Mars could end up taking weeks not months: "I think that today fusion is in a similar time as AI was in 2017–2018, when transformers were invented but ChatGPT did not appear yet. The building blocks of compact fusion are already there." "There are multiple companies that will get to fusion. Most of them are focused on electricity generation. We believe we have a design that can make fusion energy not just functional, but also compact and lightweight.” "Once you've got fusion-powered engines, you can get from here to Mars in weeks instead of months."

"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost. The biggest mistake people make they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that @JeffBezos and @elonmusk somehow stole the money from the people. They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound. All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are. Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well. This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world." — @iamjohnmackey

BREAKING: America is getting a new robotic shipyard. HD Hyundai and Kiewit have announced plans to build a highly automated shipyard on an existing industrial site with deepwater access to the Gulf of Mexico (exact location undisclosed). The shipyard will use robotic welding, digital twins, and automated production systems to build U.S. Navy auxiliary and commercial vessels. Construction is targeted for 2027, with plans to create up to 3,000 American jobs at full capacity.

founders have two products 1. what they sell to customers 2. the risk they sell to capital a great founder does (1) well but may struggle to raise an exceptional founder does (1) and (2) well and creates + EV a promoter founder does (2) well and tries to use it to fake (1)

NEW: The Pentagon has granted the Department of Homeland Security permission to test a heat ray weapon at the southern border. The military-grade heat ray can shoot an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves at potential intruders. The weapon can reach people more than half a mile away, according to the United States military. According to the Pentagon, the heat ray weapon is non-lethal but causes a burning sensation on the skin that can last between 10 and 15 minutes. The weapon sends an uncomfortable tingling effect on a potential intruder, generating "an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect." Officials say the feeling is similar to the blast of heat you receive when you open up a hot oven.
