atleast minecraft actually worth that much, probably
It's actually worth wayyy more. Microsoft already broke even just 2 years later (2016). It's estimated they made 8.5B total since acquisition.
Cursor will likely never make 8.5 billion let alone 60.
But Microsoft didn't plan on that. They only bought Mojang because they needed to launder offshore money from Europe.
In case you guys haven't figured it out, Musk is just a tool of Wall Street, whether these companies make money or not is completely irrelevant.
