They like to look for the profitable items that are being sold and suddenly start undercutting their own sellers buy selling that product themselves. They will make you submit invoices for where you bought your items and then suddenly you won’t be able to source them anymore. Pretty crappy way to treat people that have made you money.

Now you know why Jeff's wife left him for the pool guy.

I wouldn't rule out Elon Musk developing a viable alternative to Google and Apple. Dude has a chip on his shoulder Tim Cook wouldn't take his call and also he isn't a fan of what is happening.

A giant had been woke.

It won't be Elon. SpaceX depends too heavily on NASA contracts. Besides, Elon adheres to the truism of not mixing politics with business. But I wouldn't be surprised if he helps organize something behind closed doors.

What does NASA have to do with Google and Apple?

Musk has made some comments (in his weird way) about politics and even encouraged Portnoy to run for president.  He certainly has his beliefs. Cook also wouldnt take his call to buy Tesla when they were in the dumps so there is likely some ego there too. The Tesla OS runs on Linux so I'm sure they already have a solid mobile infrastructure to build off of. 

Intriguing to think about.
