There is this silver lining to all the tech boot licking, it didn't even work. They should have just stood their ground, what was your soul worth, Jeff, Mark, etc.?
You seem to imply these billios had a soul in the first place. I really doubt that’s the case.
I'm not sure if they have a soul either. However, they hate losing money! Which we can call motivation to fight back in ways that us normals can't. After Elon loses enough money we may see a political divorce of epic proportions, that will be very entertaining to watch. (Can you imagine what it will be like if trump threatens the Starlink contracts?!?)
