I can’t wait for the day when I can order a full size model of a Saturn V model from @OSHBuilt and it gets delivered by a rocket company’s robots in self driving cars
Watch out, Amazon. Tesla’s got its eye on the delivery space. In a recent Munro Live interview, Tesla's Lars Moravy and Eric Earley shared some Optimus nuggets: - Optimus's battery is a single ~2.5 kWh module, and unlike in a car (where the pack is a quarter to a third of the cost), it's not a major cost of the robot. - Near-term, Optimus is expected to plug in and charge the robotaxi fleet - Beyond charging, it "might service the car, might add in the delivery space" - "You think of Cyber Cab, Optimus, and Robo Van, that trifecta will be incredible.", "And you add Tesla Semi to that for long distances." - "Maybe we're a transportation company. It's redefining how everyone thinks of that."

HELOC founders ftw @MatthewChang
88% of VC-backed founders who exited their companies got $0. Eduardo Azevedo and Kent Smetters analysed 157,669 startups and 248,454 founders from 1987 to 2025. Let that sink in...

If you’re a builder, build a biz and raise your capital from a bank. Can attest to Molson’s point. I’ve raised ~$10M of capital my entire life (65,000 lb vehicles don’t fund themselves). I find it’s easier to build a $10M business, get to $10M EBITDA, get to $10M free cash flow. Then, random people work your network to get on your calendar and beg to throw $20M at you. Magic. Then, use your building skills to figure out if you want OPM (other people’s money) and what you’d do with it. @jimbelosic is the poster boy for this. But, before you take anyone’s money, tell them exactly what you’ll do with it and what you won’t do. Words like “pro-rata rights” and “information rights” go right out the window. Bring it up once and you’re blocked from my outlook and iPhone. You want to invest in @ChangRobotics? You better be on board with slinging the Gospel while building the most advanced robotics systems on earth. You better be on board with employees and customers being regarded as more important than investors. You better be on board with promoting women through pregnancy. You better be on board with tithing 10% of free cash flow as the least we can do. You don’t have to be on board with prayer, but expect us to teach you. You better be on board with engineers leading a company and not a financially engineered company. You better be on board with data privacy. You better be onboard with going LOOOONG on CR and America 🇺🇸. Are YOU worried about your portfolio? WE are here to work as unto the Lord and glorify Jesus through building factories other countries could only dream about. We do that, and the portfolio will take care of itself. We are under covenant with God, you will be under covenant with us. You still want in? Okay, now you can have a 30 minute meeting. -your neighborhood engineer

I am hiring for our manufacturing engineering and estimating team. Join us at HFW as we support the critical North American industrial base that keeps the world running. Our ideal candidate has experience in an engineered to order, custom manufacturing environment. Working for HFW, you will have a lot of say in defining your future. Our engineering/project management team is the nucleus of our company and poised for a lot of growth. Having spent time on the team myself, I enjoyed the variation of the work and the critical nature of the projects we are a part of. You are working with the premier global industrial names, but from the vantage point of a small business that gives you a lot of authority and autonomy. This role will primarily be based out of Buffalo, NY, with base salary for an entry level to mid career candidate expected to be in the $85k-135k range (this is not a BS range!). Relocation assistance is available. Message me if you’re interested for more details.

NEW: Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect arrested for using a sledgehammer to behead a WW2 Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, VA on Tuesday is a Mexican illegal alien & former DACA recipient whose legal status expired this year. Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano has now been charged with felony destruction of property and trespass with intent to damage property. Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.

If you’re operating a de-facto monopoly after acquiring competitors and consolidating the industry, and you’re lobbying against competition from a technologically superior new entrant, it’s a sign that you deserve your forthcoming relegation to the scrap heap
AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are jointly lobbying the FCC to preserve existing rules as @SpaceX moves closer to launching its own independent cellular network that would compete directly with the three major U.S. carriers. On Oct 20th, reps from all three major U.S. wireless carriers met with FCC officials to push back against proposed changes that would give satellite companies more freedom to offer cellular service. The carriers urged the FCC to: • Block satellite companies from using certain 5G frequencies currently used by wireless carriers. • Keep rules requiring satellite companies to get permission from wireless carriers before using their licensed spectrum. • Allow wireless carriers to maintain control over these agreements, including the ability to end them. • Reconsider proposed interference limits to protect existing cellular networks. Based on all the public communications from these carriers, and the lobbying, they are clearly worried that SpaceX's @Starlink Mobile network is going to be a major competitor to them. Starlink Mobile will become the first network operator to deploy both satellite and terrestrial spectrum. The FCC recently announced that they are considering new rules that could make it easier for satellite companies like SpaceX to offer cellular service without relying as heavily on existing wireless carriers, so this is partly what the three big carriers are fighting against.
