Software analogy
Gated reality
V940 status
One mRNA codebase, but delivery, safety and regulatory gates per disease
Sequence as code
mRNA codebase
V940: code per tumor
swap to re-target
V940 melanoma
candidate app
Lung cancer
candidate app
Pancreatic
candidate app
Delivery gate
LNP into cells
Safety /
immunogenicity gate
Regulatory gate
per-program FDA
De-risking source
value = disclosed trial data + regulatory decisions, not platform shorthand
Musk 2026 restates the 2020 framing - concedes "obvious misuse during Covid"
one gate
app-store deploy
any disease = new app
optionality implied, gates collapsed
analogy: one codebase feeds many apps - treated as a single deploy
reality: each program clears delivery, safety and regulatory before revenue
ok
ok

past the gates on Phase 3
filing + magnitude pending
V940 post-Phase 3: gates cleared - filing and magnitude still pending
