That's some 90s-dot-com-ass thinking from Elon. Nobody wants supercentralized services anymore. We've seen how giving one company too much data and too much power over our lives backfires every single time.

Elon rolled high luck and as emerald mine heir was able to take risks some of which paid off. But he was never a super (stable) genius he (and others like him) would claim to be.

We Lemmy users have seen. I mean everyone has seen I guess, but, it really seems like most people just don't care. They'd rather have convenience and comfort of big brother squeezing their balls in a vice rather than put a little thought or effort into controlling their own lives and choices.
