Jack Dorsey lit up X this weekend with a three-word post: “delete all IP law.” Elon Musk? He instantly co-signed.
Their anti-IP stance sparked a firestorm, especially as lawsuits pile up against AI firms accused of stealing content for training data.
– Dorsey called to abolish IP laws entirely, claiming current systems only enrich gatekeepers.
– Musk backed him, consistent with his past takes like “patents are for the weak.”
– Critics slammed them for undermining creators and ignoring the value of copyright in their own empires.
This isn’t just billionaire banter. Musk already helped reshape policy under Trump. And with AI in legal hot water, this debate could soon move from X posts to Capitol Hill.
Dorsey and Musk aren’t just trolling. They're hinting at a vision of tech where data is free, and gatekeepers are gone—even if that means tossing creators under the bus.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin made headlines Monday with a successful New Shepard launch featuring the first all-female space crew since 1963, joining the space tourism race against SpaceX.
Katy Perry, Gayle King, Kerianne Flynn, Lauren Sánchez, Amanda Nguyen, and Aisha Bowe.
Beyond celebrity appeal, the mission aimed to spotlight women in aerospace - a nod to history and a push for future visibility. That said, the $150K ticket price underscores continued criticism that space tourism remains a playground for the wealthy.
Blue Origin now eyes a second New Glenn launch later this spring.

Berlin-based Enpal is evolving from a solar subscription startup into a comprehensive energy tech platform for European households. Its offering now spans solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers, heat pumps, and a forthcoming energy trading platform that could turn homes into micro power stations.
Founded in 2017, Enpal now enables homeowners to generate, store, and even sell renewable energy, aiming to decentralize power and reduce grid dependence.
Revenue dipped slightly in 2024 (€860M vs €905M in 2023) amid inflation and shifting energy prices, but Enpal is doubling down on expansion with new capital and product rollouts.
Players like 1Komma5° and Sweden’s Aira are racing into the same space, pushing all-in-one electrification for homes. Enpal’s edge? A mature ecosystem and deep integration across devices.
As Europe’s green energy transition accelerates, Enpal is positioning itself as the operating layer for electrified living — not just a solar company, but a decentralized utility.

Pacific Fusion, the fusion energy startup that emerged with a $900M Series A last fall, is finally opening the hood on its technology. The company aims to outperform the National Ignition Facility by delivering 100x energy gain at one-tenth the cost — and now it’s showing how.
Instead of NIF-style laser confinement, Pacific Fusion uses electromagnetic force to compress the fuel pellet. A burst of electricity generates a magnetic field that crushes the target shell in 100 nanoseconds.
The system runs on 156 impedance-matched Marx generators (IMGs), each made up of 32 high-voltage stages and 320 capacitors. These precisely timed “bricks” deliver synchronized pulses to drive fusion at unprecedented efficiency.
Prototypes of core components are already built. With that, the company unlocks the next tranche of its milestone-based $900M funding to start assembling the first full-scale IMG. If successful, they’ll replicate it 150+ times to complete the fusion system.
Thanks to the Advance Act of 2024, fusion now has its own regulatory path, distinct from nuclear fission. Pacific Fusion is working closely with regulators as the framework evolves.
With a decade-long target to commercial deployment, Pacific Fusion is betting that fast, high-gain inertial confinement can finally make fusion not just viable, but scalable.

Phantom Neuro is reimagining prosthetics by connecting directly to what the brain thinks is still there — phantom limbs.
Instead of brain implants or external rigs, Phantom’s implant reads nerve signals from under the skin and converts them into intuitive, real-time movement.
A thin, under-skin strip that interprets motor signals from residual nerves and sends them to prosthetic limbs — delivering 94% movement accuracy with minimal calibration.
Already recognized with FDA Breakthrough Device + TAP status
Phantom is backed by leading prosthetics maker Ottobock, and counts Johns Hopkins and Intel among early supporters. Its tech could extend beyond amputees into robotics and AI movement modeling.
Phantom’s goal: Make prosthetic control feel human again — not futuristic, but familiar.

Neue Alchemy is a new venture studio from ex-AWS exec Isaiah Steinfeld, designed to turn emerging tech ideas into real products — fast. The team combines deep operator experience with AI tools to help founders go from zero to launch in weeks, not months.
Neue Alchemy isn’t a think tank — it’s a hands-on studio creating real companies in AI, mobility, commerce, and culture. Their model blends startup execution with corporate innovation systems.
Their first project, ALCHMY Coffee, went from idea to live DTC brand in under 2 weeks. Every part — beans, roasting, design, fulfillment, marketing — was automated or AI-driven. It’s now nominated for Fast Company’s 2025 Innovation by Design Awards.
Founded by Steinfeld (AWS, Nike Valiant Labs), the team includes builders from Lyft, Fiverr, Upwork, Agility Robotics, and Michael Kors. Together, they’ve worked across AI, robotics, fashion, and tech infrastructure.
Neue Alchemy is launching a Fellowship and Learning Platform to bring in more founders, creatives, and operators who want to build AI-native startups. Their Alchemist Network connects startups with a vetted ecosystem of builders, freelancers, and capital.
Neue Alchemy’s bet: in the post-AI world, speed wins — and good execution is the real differentiator.

Kia has unveiled the 2026 EV4, a compact electric sedan aimed at making EV ownership more accessible — with an estimated $35K price tag and 330 miles of range. First stop: South Korea and Europe. U.S. launch is slated for early 2026.
While most EVs aim high-end, Kia’s EV4 is designed to bring electric driving to the masses. The design borrows premium tech and styling from its EV6 and EV9 siblings — but keeps it lean, nimble, and (relatively) cheap.
• Two battery options: 58.3 kWh (235 mi) and 81.4 kWh (330 mi)
• Fast charging: ~30 mins with DC charger
• V2L4 enabled: Power your gear straight from the car
• NACS port, OTA updates, ADAS included
Dual 12.3-inch screens, 64-color ambient lighting, i-Pedal 3.0 for energy regen, and an AI assistant that talks back.
Trump-era tariff risks could raise the U.S. price by 25%. Kia’s open to U.S. production down the line, but it’s not locked in yet.
With the EV4, Kia is testing whether a sleek sedan, smart software, and a sub-$40K price can still win in a crossover-obsessed, regulation-heavy market.
