But they’re not profitable? They make 450k per employee revenue, but lose 17k profit. Meanwhile they spend 470 million in stock based compensation for example, up 100 mil from year before, on 5k employees, which they’ve been increasing a lot every year.
They’ve been pumping out products like crazy
They don’t need them. Simple as that
someone has to maintain a he products
More AI?
