The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

Just finished a long AI5 design review with the Tesla California and Texas chip engineers. It’s going to be great. And AI6 and AI7 will follow in fast succession. AI8 will be out of this world.

Had a great visit with @MichaelDell in our colossus 2 facility today. @Dell leadership has been (and will be) engaged all the way to the top.

On the stage of the World Economic Forum in Davos, we marked the first birthday of baby Kfir Bibas, who was brutally kidnapped from his home in Nir Oz and held, like his parents Shiri and Yarden, and his brother Ariel, in captivity by the terrorist organization Hamas. We will continue to demand from the whole world to be relentless in their efforts to secure the immediate release of Kfir, and all 136 hostages from the hands of the Hamas murderers.

Today we are announcing our $1B Series C, but money isn’t the story. The story is what we’ll do with it, and the scale of the challenge ahead. Our mission isn’t constrained by capital, supply, or demand. It’s constrained by talent. To build America’s next great power company, we need the engineers, operators, and creatives ready to take on the challenge to join us. Power is the most important product in the world. It runs through everything: our homes, hospitals, schools, factories, and future. And the grid that delivers it is breaking. At Base, we’re building the future of power so human progress can accelerate. In the past two years, we’ve grown from an idea into one of the fastest growing energy companies in America. Now we’re entering a new phase of growth. Our first manufacturing site is rising in the heart of Austin, inside the former Austin American-Statesman printing press. Here we’ll build our own hardware to meet surging demand and scale nationwide. This is a key step in putting a battery on every home in the country. Few teams get to say their work powers human progress. We do. With a billion dollars of fuel, our next wave of growth will be defined not by capital, but by people who choose to step up, take ownership, and build the next great American power company. The old system is breaking. Come build the new one. Our Series C was led by Addition, with participation from both new and existing investors including Trust Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Thrive Capital, Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Altimeter, StepStone, Elad Gil, 137 Ventures, Terrain, Waybury, Ribbit, CapitalG, Spark, BOND, Lowercarbon, Avenir, Glade Brook, Positive Sum, and 1789.
