Bezos vs Musk: Round 2 🚀🔥

Biz Analyst Club Newsletter

by The Business Model Analyst

Hello, Biz Enthusiasts!
Space rivals are flexing, Google may have quietly unlocked two giant AI breakthroughs, Amazon drivers are getting Iron Man–style glasses, and Robinhood wants to deliver literal bags of cash to your apartment like it’s Uber Eats for dollar bills.
Oh — and Jack Dorsey helped resurrect Vine (again), Domino’s is rebranding its way into your cravings, and ASMR parties are now a thing. The future is weird, loud, soft, tingling, and apparently stuffed-crust.
Let’s dive. 🚀

Hot Takes 🚀

1. Blue Origin Lands New Glenn Booster — Musk Finally Has Competition 🚀🛰️
Jeff Bezos’ mega-rocket just nailed its first successful booster landing on a drone ship — only the second company ever to pull that off. Even SpaceX execs said “Magnificent!” Bezos now has a real contender for deep-space missions after also deploying NASA spacecraft headed to Mars.

2. Google’s Mysterious New AI Model Might Have Solved Handwriting and Reasoning 🤯✍️
A secret model inside Google AI Studio is shocking testers with near-perfect handwriting transcription and… actual, spontaneous symbolic reasoning. Some users claim it builds entire apps from single prompts. If true, this might be the first major step toward AI systems that see and think at expert levels.
👉 Testers are calling it the “most humanlike AI yet”

3. Jeff Bezos Takes a New Job — Co-CEO of AI Startup Project Prometheus 🧪🤖
Bezos is back in operator mode. His new startup — already funded with $6.2B and staffed by talent from DeepMind, OpenAI, and Meta — wants to reinvent manufacturing with AI. Think cars, chips, spacecraft… all made smarter and faster. Bezos vs Musk just expanded to factories.
👉 Why this could be Bezos’ boldest bet since Amazon

4. Amazon's AI Smart Glasses for Drivers = Fewer Missed Deliveries 📦🕶️
Amazon is rolling out AI-powered delivery glasses that scan packages, show walking directions, detect hazards, and snap delivery photos hands-free. Basically Google Glass, except useful. Drivers get safer routes; customers get fewer “Your package was left… somewhere.” moments.

5. Robinhood Will Now Deliver… Cash to Your Door 💵🚚
Meet the strangest fintech feature of 2025. Robinhood is partnering with Gopuff to hand-deliver sealed bags of cash to verified users. It costs about what an out-of-network ATM does — except this ATM comes to your apartment. Safety protocols included.
👉 How cash delivery works (and why NYC gets it first)
