      I would love to just get a tiny glimpse of the future in say 10-15 years. At this rate I would bet Disney will own literally all media of every type…

      We’ll have Disney Entertainment, Nestle Foods, Amazon Everything, and Musk Internet.

      This is why I don’t look forward to the future lol

        this was always the end stage of capitalism: one megacorporation that everyone rents everything from, permanently entrenched and either in bed with a government they’ve bought and paid for or so powerful on its own that government dare not attempt to do anything to regulate it.

        I don’t think musk will corner the Internet market. I don’t have a timeline in mind, and I could be wrong, but as established car makers start getting into the EV game with gusto I think Tesla could end up losing a lot of value and absorbed by one of the big international car manufacturers as their inhouse EV brand.

            I know. I was extremely unclear but I was using Tesla as an example how I think musk won’t be as wealthy and powerful in the future. I don’t think that there’s a chance that starlink will replace all ISPs in the future
