Howard Hughes greatest discovery (Ad)

In 1974, the CIA used a fake mining operation to recover a Soviet nuclear sub—and accidentally uncovered something far more valuable: strange rocks on the ocean floor packed with critical metals. Today, those same metals are essential to AI, EVs, quantum computing, and defense. And thanks to recent action from the Trump administration, a $16 trillion treasure could finally be tapped—with one tiny U.S. company at the center of it all.
