Agreed and this is the reason I think was possible to hollow it out without it falling apart. Then some other guy with 5 extra brain cells and another robust system under their control is probably like - “I wonder how much labor I can hollow out, till shit starts cracking. So long as I don’t pull any public stunts like Elon and I don’t go beyond the cracks… 🤔💸”

BTW I’ve been at a hollowed out tech company. A very well known name. It’s truly incredible how different things could look from the inside compared to the outside. Massive mountains of tech debt, people doing multi-week on-call shifts to keep shit running, rarely getting a full night’s sleep, trustworthy household nameplate on the outside. The stock was doing okay. Still is actually.
