Autonomous tractor from Netherlands! 🇳🇱 Despite all the narrative, we are still building awesome companies in hardware space in Europe. Recently, I've posted about a Chinese autonomous tractors company. So today I wanted to show something that was created in the middle of Europe. This is a fully autonomous...

A fully electric autonomous tractor that lifts 4 tons, pulls 8 tons, runs 24 hours, and you can repair it in the middle of a field. This is Voltrac. 🦾 Made in Europe 🇪🇺 How would you design a futuristic autonomous tractor? Voltrac threw out everything and started from scratch. 70% fewer parts. One motor per wheel. Hot-swap batteries. Backwards compatible with any attachment a farmer already owns. Voltrac is more than a tractor, it’s the brain of the farm. One operator supervises multiple tractors across multiple farms. Every drive analyzes the crops, catches disease early, cuts fertilizer costs. And the same hitch that connects to farm tools connects to demining gear and resupply payloads for the front line. Disclaimer: I'm an early investor, because this is exactly what Europe needs. Europe had 70 million farmers in 2020. Projected 7 million by 2030. Our population keeps growing. Everyone still wants to eat. Somebody has to solve this. They build in Valencia, not China. Because the talent, the precision manufacturing, and the know-how are all here. We just forget how good we are. If we don't build this, someone in China will and sell it to European farmers. 🇪🇺🔥 Full Video on YT!

Autonomous tractor for precision spray application! 🍇 Bonsai Robotics, Inc. acquired Farm-ng in July 2025, merging autonomy software with modular electric farm robots into one company. But just couple months before the acquisition I had a chance to see Amiga in action in Watsonville, California (pictures in comments). Amiga Max is an autonomy-first, diesel-hybrid electric platform working in vineyards. It runs a full spray shift on a fraction of the fuel and labor compared to traditional tractors. Electric rate controller applies product only where it's needed. Turns and skips? It shuts off automatically. You're not spraying empty space or rows you already covered. Less chemical wasted. Better for the environment and the bottom line. Every acre is logged automatically. Full traceability and reporting without manual paperwork. Farmers know exactly what got sprayed where and when. One operator uses the Bonsai app to plan, watch, and adjust multiple robots. Autonomous operation means the tractor works consistently without driver fatigue degrading efficiency. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Elon Musk: Radical deregulation is necessary in Europe. If that means leaving the EU, it means leaving the EU. “Europe is overregulated. There are too many rules and regulations that make it very difficult to create a company and do too much to protect large companies at the expense of small to medium-sized companies. So, the net result is you have a bunch of very small companies in Europe and then it's small number of very large companies, but then not much in the middle. So, there needs to be a way to go from being a small company if you're making great products and services to be able to scale to ultimately become a big company. But you have effectively regulatory capture by the large corporations in Europe. They don't really want to reduce the regulatory burden and they like the fact that the regulations effectively protect their duopolies or monopolies in some cases. So really, I think it's up to the government to say no, we have to foster small companies and allow them to compete and reduce regulations because the regulatory situation in Europe is stifling and Brussels is amplifying that greatly. So you have both the local regulations, the country regulations and then you have the EU regulations. There's so many regulations in Europe, it makes it extremely difficult to start a company and be successful. So, I think radical deregulation is necessary in Europe. And if that means leaving the EU, it means leaving the EU.” From: Interview with Matteo Salvini, April 5, 2025

We think Europe needs more pro-European, pro-tech, pro-abundance, pro-optimism propaganda. So we made it. Posters, t-shirts, hoodies. Full-on propaganda. We've been handing them out at robotics meetups and clubs all over Europe for weeks, and people love them. Why we are doing this: Europeans know more about the companies in the States than the ones right here at home. We need to change that. Time for propaganda. Every poster features a real European company: 🦾 Allonic is braiding humanoids. A completely new approach to building robotic parts. If it works, a number one company worldwide, right here in Europe. 🚜 Voltrac, the electric autonomous tractor (we made a whole video about them). 🏗️ Automated Architecture (AUAR), doing micro-factories for wooden houses. 🪨 Gondor Industries, a stone mason company using robotics. And many, many more to come. This is the first of many drops. More launching in the next few weeks, including flags, EU posters and more. 👉 Get yours at For Europe 🇪🇺🔥 PS: If you're organizing a robotics event or meetup, have a student club or hacker space, comment or message us and we'll send you a swag box.

Berlin just hosted the best robotics meetup in Europe. 🦾 We wanted to get 50 friends together. 500 people applied once we put a private page up. The demos were all made in Europe: a fully autonomous electric tractor that lifts 4 tons (Voltrac). A multi-ton autonomous excavator (sensmore). Drones built fully in Europe (HIGHCAT). Anti-drone lasers (Stealth). Strike systems delivered by balloon (Planetfall). A payload that sees landmines through soil (Sapper Intelligence). Multiple robot arms working perfectly in sync (EVASIVE ROBOTICS). Satellite defense lasers (also Stealth). Actual Star Wars stuff. The reason we do this is simple. If these tractors, robots, lasers aren't developed and produced in Europe, they'll be built elsewhere. We need these jobs here. These manufacturing sites here. And the best way to get more founders building them is to show what's already possible and inspire the next ones. Next stops: Today in Athens (join us here, link 👇), soon in Munich and London. If you want to host one, hit us up. This is CLANKERS by PROTOTYPE. For Europe. 🇪🇺🔥

We asked Crémieux about how people are accessing GLP-1s without a prescription. "Physicians need to be careful about prescriptions." "Unfortunately, I made a guide on how to do this (getting GLP-1s from the grey market)." "Through writing this guide, I've led to almost 12,000 pounds of weight loss. That is what has been reported to me." "People are buying from China and testing the purity. It is not sold by major companies; it's just from some Chinese company that is ripping them off." From his appearance on the show in July.

BREAKING: THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO TO WATCH IF YOU ARE INVESTED IN QUANTUM COMPUTING COMPANIES. $IONQ $RGTI $QBTS $QUBT The world's leading quantum computing researcher Scott Aaronson calls out the scams and snakeoilmen in the public quantum computing stock market. $IONQ $RGTI $QBTS $QUBT - "The most important thing that I can say in this whole interview, if I am taking to Retail investors is that unfortunately there are companies that I see that are really trying to solve the hardware problems, they might succeed, they might fail but they are really focused on solving the real problems and talking about it more or less honestly" - "and then there are companies that have focused on like marketing themselves to Retail investors and doing IPO's" i.e. the 4 public quantum computing companies IONQ, Rigetti, D-Wave and QUBT. - "and I see these 2 sets of companies being mostly disjoint from each other" - "So the companies that have focused on doing IPO's are actually not the ones that are in the lead on in the hardware, what they are in the lead on is selling a narrative to people...... - "convincing people this is already useful for solving problems in optimization and machine learning and finance, which sounds great to people, but all depends on you agreeing to not ask the question Q. well could a classical computer have done that just as well, could a classical computer actually have done that much faster and easier " "When people are talking about that the big use of a quantum computer is to solve optimization or machine learning problems or to turbo charge AI, or it can already do this, it's already delivering value to customers...." "these are the tells you are dealing with a SNAKEOIL SALESMAN" He calls out the "scammy" companies in this space! Remember the only 4 quantum pure play companies that have IPO'd are $IONQ $RGTI $QUBT $QBTS He also says earlier in the interview “I would say $IONQ has not demonstrated anything in trapped ion hardware close to what Quantinuum has demonstrated in the last year” YOU ARE BEING LIED TO!

Another awesome robotics company raised funds in Europe. 🇪🇺 This time a company that is shipping robots that build! Monumental has raised $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures, and its fleet of autonomous bricklaying robots has already built more than 100 real structures across Europe. Houses. A school. A community centre. A hotel. Canal walls. Founded by Salar al Khafaji al Khafaji and Sebastiaan Visser, the co-founders of data visualisation firm Silk, acquired by Palantir in 2016, this is a team that knows how to build and sell a company. The technology is serious: → Fleet of 100+ electric autonomous robots operating on live job sites today → Advanced sensors, computer vision and small cranes laying brick to millimetre precision → All driven by Atrium, their proprietary AI software platform → Nearly half of all homes built in the last three months alone, pace is compounding fast The business model is also worth taking a look at. Contractors don't buy the robots. They hire Monumental as an autonomous subcontractor and pay for finished wall. So in the end you only pay for the output. This is the same forward-deployed engineering model Palantir pioneered in software. Monumental brought it to physical robotics years before anyone else in the industry caught on. The backdrop makes this urgent. US construction is short 200,000-400,000 workers every month. Since 1945, US manufacturing productivity rose eightfold. Construction gained just 10%, and has actually declined since the 1960s. LET'S MAKE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES SEXY AGAIN! 🧱 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

The robot is used to inspect the walls of ships. 🚢 The Magnet Crawler introduced by the University of Bremen is a lightweight and compact climbing robot for magnetic surfaces. The robot has two magnetic wheels driven by geared motors and an elastic tail to improve stability. In the front part of the robot, there is a miniature wireless camera. The robot is remotely teleoperated & the video signal from the camera is displayed to the operator on a portable screen. Let's wait and perhaps the robot will become more autonomous over time.

🚨KIM DOTCOM IS A LEGEND 🚨Watch: ENJOY 🚨TUCKER: How is the war in Ukraine resolved? What does that look like? 🚨KIM DOTCOM: On, it looks like now on the battlefield, you know. So Russia will win against Ukraine, and, I don't think there will be a settlement. No. 🚨TUCKER: Do you believe that NATO will continue to attack Russia? KIM DOTCOM: I think, the attacks on Russia will continue for many years. I don't see the US and, Europe giving up. So, I think what Russia has to prepare for is a bigger war. TUCKER: A bigger war with United... directly with the United States and Europe? KIM DOTCOM: With Europe, yeah. TUCKER: You think that this will evolve or devolve into a direct conflict between NATO and Russia where Russia is hitting Europe, Europe is hitting Russia? KIM DOTCOM: Yeah. I think so. TUCKER: And who wins? KIM DOTCOM: Russia, of course, because Europe has no, armies. You know, NATO is a toothless tiger. Yeah. TUCKER: Why would the Western powers, why would NATO want a war with Russia? I've never understood that. KIM DOTCOM: Their alternative is the US loses, and if the US loses, it will go down. You know, the West has invested a lot in, US. So all the debt is,owned by debtors. Europe is a big debtor to the United States. So if the US stock markets, for example, all the European companies that are go down, all the European companies that are listed in the US are also going down. So we, we are talking about a loss of maybe trillions, you know. It's not something that the West, can do. They want to, prevent the US from going under. TUCKER: I think, I understand that, and I'd like to see the US not go under also, but I think they're accelerating the destruction of the United States. This is having the opposite effect. If you wanted to wreck the US and bring the empire to its knees in the most humiliating, painful, expensive way, this is what you would do. KIM DOTCOM: Yeah, but, the debt has now reached levels that are unsustainable. So it's just a matter of time. You know, to run the US government costs 20 billion a day. It's impossible. TUCKER: It's impossible. That's right.

Elon Musk: A lot of the negativity stems from the axiomatic flaw that the economic pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game. “At my first company I didn't have any money, I just had $100,000 in student debt. That was a company in the very early days, of the Internet, called Zip2. But for all companies subsequently, I basically doubled down. I took the money from Zip2, invested it in X.com-PayPal, and then took the PayPal money, invested that in creating Tesla and SpaceX. It didn't feel right that I should ask investors to invest if I was not prepared to invest my own money. I think the whole other people's money thing is not right. You want to have skin in the game. As a result of that, I own a lot of shares in the company. And the better the company does, the more valuable the shares are. But that's because the pie has grown. And so you have to say what's at the root of a lot of the negativity is an axiomatic flaw. That the pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game, that if someone else succeeds, it's because they took more than their fair share of this fixed pie. But it's not a fixed pie. Obviously, the economic pie has grown considerably from what it was in the past. The output of goods and services, the productivity per person is dramatically greater than it has been in the past. So when you create a new company and you create new products and services, you're growing the amount of goods and services available to people. So you've not taken anything away from anyone. You've created something new and you've given people new products and services they didn't have before. We didn't use to have an iPhone, we didn't use to have computers. We didn't use to have cars or be able to fly in airplanes. We didn't use to have many of the life-saving medicines that we have today. These are all new things. The pie has grown tremendously.” From: Interview with Ben Shapiro, January 24, 2024

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

This is what Democrats have done to Minneapolis, Minnesota Crime and drug sales have gotten so bad, private security companies for apartment complexes are pulling contracts and no longer servicing the area “Monday, I get a text from my property management company saying that they've retained an outside security company to address the numerous complaints about loitering and drug sales in the neighborhood. ‘Beginning today, you will see these security personnel around the properties and in the neighborhood goes on and on about procedures’ Okay. Today's Wednesday. It's two days later, I get an email from my property management company, and they said, we're disappointed to share that the security company that was hired has pulled out of the neighborhood. ‘After a day and a half of doing recon and observing activity in the neighborhood, they decided the problems with crime exceed their resources to control. We will continue to work with organizations and neighborhood and explore other options to improve public safety’”

TerraNova CEO Laurence Allen on how his tank-sized robots quietly lift entire cities out of flood zones without demolishing anything: "Our robots are about the weirdest robots you've heard of. They're the size of a car. They look like a tank. They're basically a giant pump on tracks." "You have this big injection pump, and you park it right next to a well you've drilled to 30 to 60 feet. That pump is fed by a big lay-flat hose that runs from a parking lot 1,000 feet away with a slurry of wood." "What you get is you can very rapidly provide a ton of volume underground. You use that volume to lift land at acre scale, city scale. It's the first way you can lift land from the subsurface." "It's very similar to what you'd see with autonomous excavator robots, except you're lifting all the infrastructure and everything currently in place, instead of demolishing it, filling it, and rebuilding it."

This robot is playing Tetris! 🧊 AGILOX dropped something exciting at LogiMAT. One of the most requested robot use cases finally automated: Manual truck loading. What I'm really impressed of is the high precision positioning of pallets directly next to the truck or container wall. It's 2026 and I love that fact that AMR companies are not just moving goods from A to B anymore, but they innovate and look for more value-adding tasks across logistics sites and manufacturing plants! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Elon Musk: Big companies thought electric cars were dumb. That's why we started Tesla. “The incumbents are resistant to new technology. Generally there's an opportunity for new companies when there's a significant technology discontinuity. Some sort of step change in technology is what opens up an opportunity for a startup. Certainly the world didn't need another car company that made gasoline cars. There are plenty of those. But no one was doing electric cars. The reason we started Tesla and put all the effort into it was not because we thought there was this huge opportunity in electric vehicles, but actually because no one was doing electric. Everyone thought it was stupid. And the big companies thought it was dumb, and there weren't really any startups doing it. So it's like, if a big company is not going to do electric vehicles, then it has to come from a startup. That's the only option. Source: World Energy Innovation Forum, May 16, 2014

Peter Thiel on why the best businesses never compete: "Most people believe that capitalism and competition are synonyms. I believe capitalism and competition are antonyms." His point is simple: "A capitalist is someone who's in the business of accumulating capital. A world of perfect competition is a world where all the profits are competed away." Peter explains that the most important distinction in business is one nobody talks about enough. "There are two kinds of companies in this world. There are companies that are competitive and there are companies that have monopolies." His go-to example of a bad business? Restaurants. "Opening a restaurant is super competitive and nobody ever makes any money doing it." His example of a great business: Google. "Google has had no competition in search since 2002 when it definitively distanced itself from Microsoft and Yahoo, and it's been making enormous profits for the dozen years or so ever since." So what should founders actually aim for? "If you're a one-of-a-kind company, a happy company that's doing something different, you are a monopoly. It is the goal of every founder, every entrepreneur—it should be their goal to try to build a monopoly business." True market power means never having to compete in the first place.

Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis on the autonomous driving approaches being taken by Tesla and Waymo, and why both can succeed in the years to come: "Generally speaking, every single car company on the planet right now is working on a product that’s like a Tesla FSD product. Many companies are working on versions of that, that would become fully autonomous within a cheap sensor suite." "So the fundamental difference, just to simplify the Tesla approach versus the Waymo approach... the Waymo approach is lots of sensors and lots of compute, and maps, and the Tesla version is very few sensors, no high fidelity maps... and cheaper compute for a lack of a better word." "And the Tesla version of a product, this in the industry is called an L2++ product, is going to be available everywhere because it’s literally cheaper and it doesn’t require HD maps. The Waymo product functions better in a geographically constrained area." "So, fast forward five years, both of these types of technologies will be much more ubiquitous. L2++ and L4 will be much more ubiquitous, not only in the Bay Area or in parts of China, but really globally - there are companies working on this globally." "We’re at that moment for L2++ systems. Where people are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a semi-automated vehicle." "It will not be a long time — you’re already seeing this in China — where the downward pricing pressure for the autonomous product, for lack of a better word, will become close to free."
