Five Things Tech: Leaders, Climate & Defense, VR Market, Thermodynamic Chips, Fiber & Earthquakes

Everything you should read about Tech right now.

Hello again, and welcome back to Five Things Tech!

This week we finally saw some discontent among the Silicon Valley tech leaders when asked about Trump and Musk. That’s about time. I am sure the whole idea of slapping tariffs will eventually lead to European tariffs on US digital services and this could harm Silicon Valley directly, while tariffs on Harley-Davidsons or Jim Beam won’t affect the tech industry much. The Tech Bros who still back Trump hopefully will see a reckoning soon. The outcome of just the first two months of Trump here in Germany is simple: everyone is talking about digital sovereignty again and companies are actively looking for European solutions. Also, Open Source is seeing lots more interest now, which is amazing.
