Why 50,000+ Investors Are Backing BOXABL's Vision

BOXABL is bringing factory automation to housing—just like Ford did for cars. Their foldable homes are built in Las Vegas, shipped compact, and set up on-site in about an hour. It’s faster, cheaper, and smarter than traditional construction.

Since launching, BOXABL has delivered a prototype to SpaceX, completed a 156-home project for the Department of Defense, and built over 700 homes. Demand is growing rapidly from both developers and individual buyers.

Here’s why BOXABL is gaining serious momentum:

  • $200M+ raised from 50,000+ investors

  • Nasdaq ticker reserved: $BXBL

  • Invest at $0.80/share before the round closes on June 24

🕶️ Meta announces Oakley smart glasses LINK
  • Meta announced new Oakley smart glasses, featuring a limited-edition HSTN model for $499, with other styles starting from $399 later this summer.
  • Aimed at athletes, these Oakley glasses provide IPX4 water resistance, double the battery life of Ray-Bans, and record video in 3K resolution.
  • This launch marks Meta's entry into the performance eyewear category with EssilorLuxottica, offering various frame and lens options including prescriptions.
💰 Meta tried to buy Ilya Sutskever's $32 billion AI startup LINK
  • Earlier this year, Meta tried to acquire Ilya Sutskever's AI startup Safe Superintelligence, reportedly valued at $32 billion, but Sutskever rebuffed the company's efforts.
  • Ilya Sutskever, who launched Safe Superintelligence a year ago after leaving OpenAI, also rejected Meta's distinct attempt to recruit him for their team.
  • Following its failed bid, Meta is hiring Safe Superintelligence's CEO Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman, also acquiring a stake in their NFDG venture firm.
🤖 Nvidia products could be made using humanoid robots for first time ever LINK
  • Foxconn and Nvidia are discussing deploying humanoid robots at a new Houston factory for Nvidia AI servers, with deployment finalization expected in coming months.
  • These humanoid robots are set to work by the first quarter of next year, when the Houston factory begins making Nvidia's GB300 AI servers.
  • This marks the first Nvidia product made with humanoid robot aid and Foxconn's initial AI server factory using them on the production line.
💥 16 billion passwords exposed from tech giants LINK
  • Researchers confirmed a massive data breach has exposed 16 billion login credentials, including passwords, thought to be the largest ever discovered by investigators.
  • These login credentials, gathered by multiple infostealers, form 30 new datasets, providing fresh intelligence for attacks on services including Apple and Facebook.
  • These compromised records, often structured with a URL, login details, and a password, impact online services from Apple, Facebook, Google, GitHub, and Telegram.
🚕 Tesla to launch 10 robotaxis in Austin LINK
  • Tesla's Austin robotaxi service begins with only 10 Model Y cars, matching the lower end of the 10-20 vehicles CEO Elon Musk previously mentioned.
  • This initial Austin fleet of ten cars will be geo-fenced, avoiding challenging roads, and monitored by remote teleoperators who can take control.
  • Early availability of these Austin robotaxis is expected for company employees and invited guests, with general public access likely months away.
