AI Stocks Are Getting Crushed, $JOBY 's Flying Taxis, & The Housing Market Freeze:
Important insights from @DivesTech , $META 's President @DinaPowellMcC , and others about how the "Blue Wave" could impact your AI stock portfolio.

$JOBY: Notice the team never brags about being the only true eVTOL company on the market⁉️
They prefer flying the S4 eVTOL around the country and world (quietly of course😉), showing effortless VTOL transition flights.
Joby’s transparency is unique, take a look around…🫣
Yesterday, Joby flew an electric air taxi into Orlando International Airport’s dedicated Vertipad, the first purpose-built eVTOL infrastructure at a major U.S. airport.
Working with @MyFDOT, @MCO, and @FAANews, these operations help map the regulatory path for airport facilities across the country.
Florida’s Future of Flight Series continues.
Next stop: Space Coast 📍🚀

Today, NBAA hails the pioneering legacy of Ed Bolen, an industry trailblazer who is retiring after nearly a quarter century as NBAA’s president and CEO.

The UP.SUMMIT in Cape Canaveral is a remarkable concentration of forward looking tech - air taxis, space rockets, robots, nuclear power, and a remarkably inspiring message from NASA Administrator Isaacman. Proud to see the @jobyaviation air taxi fly as part of the air display, along with Beta, Electra, Jetson (and lots of fast things like the Thunderbirds!) $JOBY

It’s NOT a bird. It’s NOT a plane. It’s a FLYING ELECTRIC AIR TAXI! 👀 ☁️
Today, FDOT launched innovative aircraft from @JobyAviation at @MCO’s first dedicated Vertipad as part of Florida’s Future of Flight Series! These aircraft will revolutionize how people and goods move throughout the state, especially above the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando. Learn more >> bit.ly/3UvTp5R

What an honor to work with @jobyaviation and their Aero S4 today! Big things happening in the near future @MCO !!!

History is taking flight in Tampa Bay! Thank you to @GovRonDeSantis, @MyFDOT, and our industry partners for making today’s historic Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program demo event possible.
It's been nearly 113 years since history was made in Tampa with the world’s first scheduled commercial airline flight, American innovators @BETA_aircraft and @jobyaviation are bringing that historic route into the future with electric aircraft. Today also marks the first time both companies completed a demonstration together. This is what happens when the government and industry work together to realize the potential for safely integrating these transformational aircraft into the national airspace.
From the first commercial flight to the next era of aviation, America continues to lead the way!
ALT FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford addresses the audience at the eIPP demonstration flight. An American flag and a podium with "Florida: Ready for Takeoff" are prominently displayed. eVTOL aircraft are visible on the tarmac in the background.

This morning, NBAA was part of a historic milestone for aviation and AAM as @BETA_aircraft and @jobyaviation recreated the historic first passenger flight that Tony Jannus conducted between St. Petersburg and Tampa in 1914.
Before bridges were built and roads were improved, it took hours to circumnavigate the Tampa Bay or cross it by boat. That trip was shortened to just 23 minutes by air.
Today, just a little over 100 years later, electric aircraft took to the skies ushering in a new era of transportation as part of demonstration flights through the Florida eIPP initiative.

$JOBY: Head of 🇺🇸 Strategic Policy, Lydon Sleeper, just reinforced (again) what 99.9% of people ignore about the S4 eVTOL.
1) The S4 can fly & land normally in VTOL configuration using just 4 of 6 propeller stations.
2) PLUS even more redundancy thanks to the genius Joby Engineers!
The S4 can also land using the wing like a CTOL!🧠💪
Thanks @BobTreemore for all the $JOBY $BETA content in Florida!!
I guess $ACHR couldn’t fly to the party…🙈

It can only be in Ohio!
“Trump Wright Armstrong Space Academy at Wright Field”
Trump WAS Wright!
LFG! 🚀🇺🇸💪🏼
.@POTUS: I recently announced we will be establishing a brand new U.S. National SPACE ACADEMY.
Every other state wants it, but I have no doubt that — as the birthplace of aviation and home of the Wright Brothers — if we win, Ohio will be under STRONG consideration.
1/ What a day at Oklahoma City! I got to welcome members of the Oklahoma State Senate and House, Oklahoma DOT, FAA leadership, and key state aviation leaders to see @jobyaviation autonomy up close on our J208, N101XW. 🧵
This is our coast-to-coast-to-coast tour honoring America's 250th: 12 stops and about 5,500 nautical miles, flown autonomously. We're now on the last few legs, and the crowds keep growing. Local celebrations are now standing room only!

Thank you, Oklahoma, for a great welcome and for leading on advanced air mobility. Follow the rest of the tour at jobyaviation.com/electric-sk… ✈️🇺🇸

FAA certification could change how investors value @jobyaviation
Michael Thompson explains how approval could open up new financing options and why the first certified aircraft is the starting point
@reindsummit
My first conversation with Michael Thompson who is on the board of @jobyaviation ($JOBY) and @oklo ($OKLO). He previously started Reinvent Capital with @markpinc and @reidhoffman where he was Managing Partner and made early investments in the physical economy through Joby, SpaceX, Nimble Robotics, Oklo and many other companies. This is a special edition of We The Builders conversation from @reindsummit earlier this summer.

FOR THE FIRST TIME 🛫
USDOT’s EIPP program paved the way for @jobyaviation to fly an autonomous aircraft across the country with NO PILOT intervention!
The future of flight is happening RIGHT NOW

"This is one of the biggest days in aviation...since the jet age." - @SecDuffy
This is just day one.
This week we connect Fort Worth to DFW and beyond.
No runways required.
🚨 FUTURE OF FLIGHT IS HERE 🚨
Today in Texas, we celebrated the state’s first demonstration of next-gen aircraft under our Advanced Air Mobility Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), making Texas the sixth location to launch under this landmark @USDOT initiative!
Through eIPP, we’ve built one of the nation’s largest real-world environments to test eVTOLs, air taxis, and autonomous planes
The future of flight is taking off right here in AMERICA 🇺🇸
Greg Bowles retweeted
The first autonomous flight across America, by the numbers:
✅ 3,199 miles flown
✅ 0 times the safety pilot touched the controls
✅ 2,323 miles: the farthest distance the aircraft was supervised from
✅ 100% of taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing performed autonomously
✅ 1 month-long transcontinental tour, eastbound leg complete
Along the way, the J208 integrated into the nation's busiest general aviation airport at Deer Valley and altered its mission plan in real time for changing weather.
We've seen some of you asking: why a Cessna Caravan?
In the new Joby Recon, @maxabusa, Maxime, Evan and Craig break down the pathway to certified autonomous flight technology.
IT'S OFFICIAL. An autonomous aircraft has crossed the country. 🇺🇸
The J208 reached Outer Banks, North Carolina on the first autonomous flight across America.
To mark the moment, this episode of Joby Recon hosted by @maxabusa takes you inside the program and the team behind it: how a converted Cessna Caravan takes off, flies, and lands autonomously, with a pilot commanding the mission remotely from a keyboard, a mouse, and a mic.
122 years ago, the first powered flight lifted off at Kitty Hawk.
Today, the future of flight arrived autonomously near the same dunes where it all began.
