If I'm not mistaken the overwhelming majority of elons wealth is in company stock (including his other companies, not just Tesla)

It might need to fall pretty damn low for him to be able to afford all outstanding shares.

Stupid. There are already alternatives. Nobody wants them.

No matter how good you make it, now that tiktok was taken from people any app will just be the tiktok replacement being forced on us instead of a worthwhile social media unto itself.

It's not like twitter which sold its own soul and was subsequently run into the ground. I think any attempt to replace tiktok will just piss people off, especially if they're clearly American corporate enterprises.

Eh. Home users often don't even pay for their licenses.

Selling windows licenses to other businesses has always been how windows made most of its money. I don't even want to think of how much work it would be to get hexagenarian office workers to switch to Ubuntu (or any other flavor of linux, frankly). That's not a dig on Linux, it's just that trying to switch to any other operating system would be so painful that MS could ask basically any price and companies would pay it.

The gaming/home user space may well continue to slide toward Linux, and I hope it does. But making inroads to the corporate desktop is the real challenge.

American tip culture is fucked, and it has been for a very long time. Once gas stations started begging for a tip on my soft drinks I figured it was about time to rip the band aid off.

Unfortunately tipping less means wait staff are gonna get fucked -- no way to soften that. We need to get to a place where their livelihoods aren't dependent on generosity.
