Thought a lot about if or how to engage, especially given @IbrahimS15's post hit some pretty broad reach (~1m views!), I figured it was worth saying something. We get a lot of nonsense hater flak, anons just chirping about what they think we do at Anduril or who they think we are
I got rejected from Anduril bc I was aloof. I recognize I sounded this way but I was just nervous about the technical so I wasn’t as emotive as I normally am. Anyways, this was my dream company and role and I can’t believe I fucked it up on the behavioral aspect. I feel like I

3 weeks ago I made the mistake of showing interest in my son's Minecraft world and 3,000 hours later I'm still hearing about the glass walls on the "dance hall" he's built that you have to take an 8-bit roller coaster ride to get to

My good friend was fortunate enough to get early options in what has become a very valuable company... Rough lesson incoming 😬

This pesky storm! In case you're still feeling up to it, go right ahead and strap on those galoshes, brave the elements, and come snag a bagel! Everything bagels with optional cream cheese btw
Sorry to miss you @DSAOrangeCounty! Mother nature can be oh so fickle here in Orange County. The balloons and bagels were non-refundable, so if you change your mind (and if this awful storm passes!) please feel free to stop on by.

Hey @DSAOrangeCounty! We are eager to welcome you to our HQ tomorrow. Minor clarification - there are no Anduril systems or products deployed in either Israel or Gaza. Nonetheless, we wouldn't want the facts to get in the way of a good time. We hope you enjoy practicing those

I'm both very happy that Saquon's investing instincts are getting the credit they deserve and also quite annoyed that the screenshotted segment of the profile gets Anduril's valuation wrong.

if you think @eladgil is throwing darts and yolo'ing checks out then a) you've clearly never spent time with Elad and b) you're clearly ngmi Elad had an illustrious career as repeat founder, CEO, corpdev acquirer/integrator... He's seen more pitches and worked with more
At dinner last night w a few VCs from big firms who were like “we run regression models & simulate 1m potential outcomes to back into our valuations” Cracked myself up thinking of Elad Gil throwing a dart at the board to deploy $3b off pure vibes & still crushing everyone’s IRR.

boop I have a better idea
Should @anduriltech put a Fury fighter plane on a billboard on the 101 in the Bay Area just to save drivers from YET ANOTHER incomprehensible Enterprise SaaS ad?

Spent the morning with @dontmitch test driving the @ArcBoats Sport… Thanks Mitch! The Arc Sport is pretty freaking incredible. Amazing boat, so much fun. I was able to get up on the wakeboard on my first try (yay!) and subsequently ate it pretty hard 😂
