That’s certainly what the companies believe, is it actually true though? Musk said everyone but the bots came crawling back… Without showing numbers
I think tech CEOs badly want to believe this is true, because it would be an easy solution to all their problems. And with everyone doing something similar, there’s no competitor for them to jump to
