also the whole "kitchen sink" image was probably a crude attempt at reinforcement

> and to make use of it mandatory

That was really the part I was most curious about. As the article points out, a lot of big tech has been trying to make their app economy "indispensable" to consumers, but competition seems to have thwarted that mostly. If Elon is saying he'll make it mandatory by other means, then I'm really curious to hear what he is saying on the subject.

  • Thwarted??

    Can you run a business if you're not on Google Maps?

    • You absolutely can if you don’t have locations that are open to customers.

      What I hear from the marketing folks I work with is that these days it’s less about Google and more “if you’re not advertising on Facebook, you’re not advertising.” (US centric perspective.)

It wasn't a kitchen sink that he carried tho it was a bathroom sink... ah well he wouldn't know the difference...
