@mkratsios47 has been an unsung hero behind America’s innovation boom. He gets what founders need from government to build and win. Great to see him getting the recognition he deserves. 🚀🇺🇸

A few weeks ago, the Secret Service locked Jensen Huang, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Satya Nadella, Lisa Su, and Michael Dell in a room in Washington, DC.

While they waited for President Trump, Huang—who chooses not to own a jet—complained about a recent commercial plane ride. It had no Wi-Fi.

“Best way to sandbox an AI,” Musk said. “Put it on a Delta flight.”

All six were about to receive national medals from the President. The ceremony was the idea of Michael Kratsios, Trump's chief science advisor. He is 39, a Peter Thiel protégé, and has worked for Trump every day of both terms.

For decades, the office Kratsios runs was known mostly for reports on things like algae blooms. Kratsios himself was barely known in Trump's first term. Now he sits between the President and tech royalty. He is one of a handful of people shaping America's AI policy, and the White House's point man on nuclear, space, and quantum.

In our latest feature, @harrytlambert shows how the fight to regulate AI and reform American science runs through his office.

Today Waymo announced the next phase of our partnership with Toyota. Together, we are taking a meaningful step forward in scaling fully autonomous driving technology globally.

Starting in Japan in 2027, we will begin testing and validation of custom-outfitted, all-electric, right-hand-drive (RHD) Toyota bZ4X autonomous vehicles. By partnering with Toyota's world-class vehicle development and manufacturing with the reliability of the Waymo Driver — we are making life-saving technology accessible to more communities.

Today, I outlined my vision for rolling out the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark @CTATech Innovation House.

This will give consumers a new tool to identify products that make cybersecurity a standard feature of a connected home.
