Musk / Politics question -
If half of the developers in the world hate Musk and refuse to use his company's tools, does that mean his tools won't be adopted enough to gain valuable market share?
Microsoft hate in the 90's didn't stop it. Could it stop X.ai now that the internet world is a bigger, more political place? Where ICs supposedly have more power to shape outcomes?
As another counter point, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Google are often derided by loud voices (I'm occasionally one of them), but clearly none of that detracts from their combined trillion plus dollars of annual revenue.
I'm really curious to see how this shakes out.
