To which Cisco replied "okay" and forced Apple to agree to an unknown but likely ludicrous licensing fee.

Twitter got Apple money right now? Because even Elons billions aint shit compared to Microsofts literal trillions.

Twitter's got so little money that they can't even pay all their bills, lol.

Honestly I think they rolled out the new branding without finishing it because they can't afford proper designers or project managers. The site still says "Twitter" all over the place and they can't even trademark the new logo.

Apparently they've hired an intern level designer then fired them after 2.5 weeks, once they handed in the design proposal.

Microsoft doesn't have trillions. Where did you get that from?

Microsoft is a 2.6T dollar company…

Market capitalization means that every share of MSFT combined at the current price is worth $2.6T. The company has $100B cash on hand. That's actual cash and investments that could be easily converted to cash. Substantially less than $2 trillion.

Yeah, but by that logic, Musk isn't a billionaire either.

And as a public company, Microsoft has a lot more options to leverage their equity than a private company or individual does.

Musk owns stock worth billions. Stock is a liquid asset, meaning he has billions in liquid assets. The $2.6T market cap is what the public shares of MSFT are "worth." They are owned mostly by people and orgs other than Microsoft, meaning that value is not an asset to Microsoft.

Your comment is low-effort. Don't do that.

Isn't that still a fuck-ton more than what any of their competitors have at their disposal?
