Construction is a colossal logistics problem: getting the right people, materials, and information to the right place at the right time. To industrialize construction, this paradox must be overcome. We overcame it by inventing a new type of manufacturing that allows for localization; we call it a Mobile Micro-Factory...

After 1,000,000+ engineering hours, we're ready to give an update on what we've been making and how. Construction is the largest, least productive industry on Earth, and it’s starting to affect housing. We're here to fix that. Thesis: We can build quality homes — any type — faster and cheaper than most of the industry through industrialization. Here's how: Construction's biggest problem is logistics: getting the right materials, people, and information in the right place at the right time. So we invented a new type of manufacturing, Mobile Micro-Factories — small, modular, local factories that make and prepare every part of a home, then deliver it in stages, last-mile, to the site ready to assemble with non-specialized labor. We’re built to scale fast — we can quickly copy our factories into hundreds of markets worldwide. This is a really hard problem to solve; we're going to get there. We'll walk through the nuances in more detail over the next few weeks. Full film dropping soon.

We have 6 different models of CNC machines already designed and validated for production but we would need crores to scale up production and offer it to other manufacturers. Hence, we only build machines for our own production facility. Capital is a bottleneck for us. Currently we just have a tiny space within our own factory which is our R&D lab. We are a team of mere three people. Scaling hardware isn’t easy but it’s something that must be done for us to truly be self-reliant. Really appreciate your efforts Sridhar Vembu to build these hardware tools here. We must build more factories and hardware products in the country. Long way to go before I sleep.

“The factory is the weapon, because without the factory, you have no weapons.” Anduril’s Trae Stephens says even if we had equal labor costs, the US still couldn’t compete with China on manufacturing: “We offshored a lot of manufacturing work to lower-cost labor locations like China.” “Not only did they soak up a lot of that manufacturing capacity, but they also developed advanced tooling and know-how to build the things that we use every day.” “At this point, even if there was complete labor cost parity, we still don't have the ability to just magically reshore a lot of these critical components that are going to be important to the next 50 or 100 years.” “We're in this place where we really need to reindustrialize.”

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani: We can keep people in their homes and build the homes they need to live in. Our housing plan meets this crisis with the scale and urgency it demands. It invests billions of dollars into new and affordable housing production, and it continues the vital work of protecting tenants from bad landlords. Over the next decade, we will build 200,000 affordable homes. We will preserve an additional 200,000 homes. No plan of this scale has ever been imagined, let alone proposed.

We have a terrible problem with a lack of housing, which is driving up rents. We have a 1% vacancy rate. We need development desperately and quickly to bring the supply up and costs down across the board. Right now it takes 4 years to get a permit. I built LaGuardia airport in 4 years. My plan is to build 50,000 units a year because we can, and we will.

The Giga Texas Optimus Factory has made a lot of progress with ground work, GeoPiers & now the steel superstructure which has grown to 4 Floors, at least in the sender section! This is similar to the main factory construction and I suspect we will see varying levels throughout the structure as it continues to build out. This means that with the extension work to the south to reclaim even more land to further lengthen the structure, it will have a meaningful % of the 11 Million Sq Ft of the main factory, so this is truly becoming a massive factory! A large steel staging yard in nearby in the “lone tree” field & several large cranes are at work actively adding more steel as they build out from the center, again, very similar to how the main factory was constructed. Check it out!

ELON: WE CARE ABOUT AESTHETICS—EVEN FOR OUR FACTORIES “It's a factory, but we care about aesthetics. Does it look good? Does it work with the rest of the environment? The [Nevada] factory will actually be shaped like a diamond. The reason for that is if you make it a box shape, we would have had to move a lot more earth. So, in order to have it fit more in the environment, we've had it shaped like a diamond. It's also aligned on true north so that we can actually map out where the equipment's going to be by GPS. The solar panels that will be on the roof are also properly aligned. It sounds romantic to say it's shaped like a diamond and aligned on true north, but there are practical reasons for it as well. This factory will produce its own energy as well, through a combination of geothermal, wind and solar. So, it'll be a sort of self-contained factory.” Source: Giga Nevada Announcement, September 4, 2014

We have been nonstop covering the housing crisis young Americans are facing, the complete theft of the American Dream. Hearing this from Vice President JD Vance is truly incredible. He says it is a top priority of the administration to take back the American Dream and lower costs. Here’s how: - Make it easier to build homes - Mass build homes - Deport all criminal aliens “We have to remember they're expensive because we inherited this terrible inflation crisis from the Biden administration.” “The most important because I care so much about our young people is them being able to afford a good life. A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive.” “We flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens. And at the same time, we weren't building enough new houses to begin with, even for the population that we had.” “So what we're doing is trying to make it easier to build houses, trying to make it easier to build factories and things like that so that people have good jobs. You're also getting all of those illegal aliens out of our country, and you're already seeing it start to pay some dividends.” There is nothing more important than this issue. Thank you Vice President JD Vance

Laura Loomer exposes meetings are being held right here in America at the Convention Center in Michigan where Muslims are calling to disrupt the supply chains for our military “They need to transport the different components of the F-35 to different locations to assemble them. So what I'm saying to y'all is that if one specific node of the F-35 supply chain is intervened — We need to be surgical, we need to be strategic, and we need to be bold in our actions, because there are many different points of these supply chains of death that we can intervene in”

Lutnick: This is the Japanese government giving Donald Trump $550 billion and says "Go fix whatever you need to fix." Donald Trump can take the Japanese money and say "Let's go build a factory and get an American company to operate it. We will lease them the factory. If they don't make much money, so what?" That's the beauty of this. Donald Trump calls it a signing bonus.

Work on reconciliation that had not happened before. You—we knew—who would go nowhere unless we reversed the politics of hatred and separation, separation and division, and so on. So, let’s try something else: so let’s agree that, irrespective of our differences, we can get along, we can work together. All right, you teach the population how to forgive and overcome the idea of revenge. How do you go about doing that? We must do something that allows people to build and hope for the future. We went to the homes of our citizens, and reconciliation was a kind of conversation, a discussion. Look, we have a lot of places to point fingers, but that doesn’t help; what helps is confronting the situation as we should. President Kagame

Arteta: “We know what is at stake and the fact that, as a club, we haven't done it for so long is a reason for that. It talks about the difficulty but I just want to focus on the things that we can control, dominate, and we have done. “It's not that we have to do a lot of new things that we haven't done. No, no, no, let's keep doing a lot of it or almost all the things that we've done for nine months, because that's what has taken us all the way there. “On Wednesday, I saw a lot of them. And today we've gone back so we need to learn, we need to be very critical of ourselves, and then pick ourselves up because on Wednesday we have a big one coming up.”

We need to be able to build housing quickly and cost-effectively. We need to build more hospitals and schools. We need to make it clear that we're the party of getting things done.

.Secretary Brooke Rollins on combatting the New World screwworm with the construction of a state-of-the-art sterile fly production facility, FDA treatments: We got immediate approval to begin permitting and construction on what will be the largest facility in the world on this, and that is being built right now in Texas. Instead of a couple years of permitting, our Army Corps of Engineers, our Secretary of War Pete Hegseth put it at the top of the list, got it fast tracked, and we we broke ground about 3 or 4 months ago. That facility will come online next year. When it does, it’ll produce about 300 million flies per week, in addition to the 100 million from Panama, and then we outfitted an additional Mexican facility. We will get back to the point where we're able to push it back and eradicate it. But until that point, which is likely some time next year, we had FDA fast track a lot of treatment. We’ve got a national veterinary supply stockpile that was loaded onto a plane this morning, is headed to South Texas right now.
