Microsoft google and meta will be eaten by apple or tesla. Apple makes HARDWARE, tesla has the backing of the p*ypal mafia. Tiktok is the search and advertising of the future. Google and microsoft are banking on AI but their underlying platforms are outdated to people under 25. Baby boomers adopted google as a digital "whitepages", SEO link building campaigns and private blog networks are outdated to zoomers and aoomers. Millenials dont react to tiktok advertising like they did with web2 platforms, youtube, facebook, exc. Gen X and millenials with small business ownership will hire zoomers/aoomers to do some tiktok dances and edit it with text themselves. Windows will lose marketshare to apple, professionals will keep using mac os, rich nerds and poor nerds will stick to gentoo and linux shit, government contractors will give in to apple. The only non apple computer makers left will be niche shit like framework laptops or system76 since thats always a dedicated nerd money farm. Google will lose advertising power, their android division will only save them so far until tesla makes some tesla phone, musk will buy out android like he did with twitter. Meta cannot scale out on future computer hardware like apple, its not 2003 anymore. NVDA and surviving chip makers with a strong presence in AI will be be bought out by tesla or apple, they have the money and end user hardware presence to need chips. /g/ will continue to be angry about apple or elon musk but they were wrong about bitcoin just like they flip out over monero threads now. /g/ is zerohedge for computer nerds. Peter theil and silicon valley will always back tesla and top wall street execs under buffett will never dump their apple shares for its dividend machine.

>If 15% of #Twitter's 423,700 verified users paid $8 a month,this would add up to $6.1 million per year.

>Currently, Twitter brings in $5 billion per year in revenue, mostly from advertising.
