Even more tweets from the same guy, and he still didn't give me source
There is however a Defense News Article regarding this event (Rather dated however, as it was posted on August 20):
[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.defensenews.com/air/2022/08/19/us-air-force-picks-five-companies-to-prototype-next-gen-engines/[/URL]
Based on what the pictures say, it implies that the USAF has awarded 5 contracts, worth almost 5 billion dollars, to 5 different companies, all for the purpose of developing the "Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion" or NGAP program. The 5 Companies are as listed:
1: Boeing
2: Lockheed Martin
3: Northrop Grumman
4: General Electric
5: Raytheon
As always, take these with a grain of salt
