Volv Concierge #69

Hey!

Full disclosure - I'm not exactly a football fan, but when the Super Bowl turns into the biggest plot twist of 2025, we've got to talk about it. Let's dive into this wild ride and all the other chaos that made headlines this week.

🌎 Global Chess Moves

President Donald Trump vowed to end the Gaza ceasefire if Hamas rejects his terms. He’s also going full real estate mogul on Gaza, saying he would "cherish" it. Meanwhile, India’s PM Modi is dodging terrorist threats and Africa is literally splitting into two. Not today, but in 50 million years we might casually get a sixth ocean. Meanwhile, in a cartographic twist, Americans are now staring at the ‘Gulf of America’ - and people have a lot to say about it.

🤖  Tech Drama

The Musk-Altman showdown is peak entertainment and classic tech power struggle. Elon Musk was trying to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, so Altman clapped back offering $9.74B for X. Speaking of Musk, NASA just confirmed it is teaming up with SpaceX to hunt for water in space, which is groundbreaking!

Big Tech now has its sights on Augmented Reality (AR), with some even claiming it will replace smartphones.

Reddit is exposing VCs and everyone’s loving it. Meanwhile, Google's quietly deleting Black History Month and Pride holidays from its calendar for..."sustainability." Feels a little sus.
