So Elon’s a “visionary” who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website…

    You can do everything, unless one of those is a monopoly that you leverage for other products

      ahhh that makes sense. i was remembering microsoft getting broken up/fined and wondered how an “everything company” could possibly avoid that. turns out you have to have a monopoly to start with, which might have been an issue before he tanked twitter. so i guess genius move, 5d chess etc
