Mine → magnet → motor

Tune in to Wall Street Week on Bloomberg TV tonight 👇
MP Materials is trying to rebuild the rare-earth chain domestically, moving from its Mountain Pass mine in California into refining. But catching up with China will take more than finding minerals. More on Wall Street Week bloom.bg/3EMZYZX
Helping 🇺🇸 drone and motor manufacturers secure domestic supply chains is mission-critical but extraordinarily difficult when each company represents a relatively small, highly specialized requirement
Project Swarm creates a new industrial model to solve the challenge at scale. Multiple leading drone manufacturers have already executed term sheets.
Introducing Project Swarm
America cannot achieve drone dominance while depending on foreign-controlled supply chains
Project Swarm will aggregate the magnet demand of U.S. and allied drone and motor manufacturers—creating a secure pathway from the rare earth mine to the aircraft
Sovereign airspace requires a sovereign supply chain

Going direct doesn’t mean never talking to the press and instead doing long-form podcasts (although All-In is an amazing platform)
It means establishing direct comms to avoid dependence on others, including reporters
It means making your own content, speaking live, doing trusted podcasts - basically filterless mediums where you don’t have to rely on misaligned third parties to represent you fairly
But self-reliance doesn’t mean wholesale knee-jerk rejection of all media, just as sovereignty doesn’t mean rejection of all potential allies. It’s “and” not “or”
Elon is fine boycotting media because he owns the global town square. But if you run a startup that’s selling to banks, maybe you should care about financial press because your customers do
When I began advocating to go direct a few years ago, the world was different. Relying on media as the main way to communicate publicly was the default. Against that backdrop founders needed to rotate hard to direct channels
Now, going direct is already the default for corporate communications. Being judicious and opportunistic about the right media to work with (whether journalists, podcasters, bloggers, YouTubers) is a complement, not a replacement, to going direct

Truth bomb! Forgiving @benchmark and others would be like letting the Wuhan Institute of Virology slide back into a good reputation because the new Senior Manager of Pandemic Causation has made more friends than his predecessor.
Hey, it’s me 🙈
Recycling isn’t a panacea, but it is a huge part of the success equation
One untapped resource to meet the rising need for rare earth elements: recycling what's already been used. cbsn.ws/4bHPszm
Reindustrialization needs to go mainstream
Really proud of how this turned out
The 🇺🇸 rare earths company seeking to topple China's dominance | 60 Minutes | $MP

Been working on something important and fun. Can't wait for you all to see it. Tune in Sunday.
In the U.S. trade war with China, rare earths are a critical battleground. Jon Wertheim reports from the only active rare earth mine in the US that is challenging China's near-monopoly over the strategic metals that are key components in smartphones, robotics, fighter jets, and drones.

A lot of money to be made here
