A fair point and while I'd prefer he stayed away I still think meta is a much more dangerous entity to allow get a foothold.

Not really. Musk is a man child that is quickly becoming exposed as not the genius.

Meta on the other hand is a large multinational that has had its hand in manipulating governments, mental health and personal image issues, conspiracy theories and genocide.

I couldn't give a shit if Elon attempted to move here because he'd make a balls of it. Meta should be resisted at every opportunity.

I worked with someone who moved their entire workload into notes, email, spreadsheets, browsing, embedded sametime, you name it he used notes for it.

I was part of an acquisition, company was performing well against bigger players and IBM came in and threw a load of money at the owners.

Once we completed the transref of business we were paid massive retention bonuses, managers got company cars etc.

Not one sale of the product was made in the next 6 years and the business unit closed down. Previous CEO founded a competitor when his non compete clause ended and the customer base IBM had bought moved.

This is not an isolated occurrence.
