Summary: The first week of Q2 2026 reveals a violent restructuring of the corporate status quo. We analyze Jack Dorsey’s thesis that AI can replace middle management, turning Block’s 40% layoff into a blueprint for the "Agentic Enterprise." Meanwhile, the alliance between Microsoft and OpenAI fractures further as Microsoft launches three in-house models to declare its independence. We also track the capital flight on the secondary markets, where investors are dumping OpenAI shares in favor of Anthropic’s enterprise-friendly valuation. Finally, we deconstruct the impending $1.75 Trillion SpaceX IPO and how Elon Musk is merging rockets and AI into an unprecedented capital structure.
