> Google and Apple both need a culling similar to what Elon did with Twitter after taking over.

You could cut Google's size by 40% and they'd still have more corporate employees than Apple.

(Google has ~190k employees, Apple has ~160k but 50k of those are retail staff, so ~110k corporate)

Google is competing with nvidia (TPU), AWS (GCP), Netflix (youtube), Tesla (waymo self driving), OpenAI (Gemini), Microsoft (Workspace), Apple (Android)....

Apple was doing effectively everything on that list, though the self driving car was cancelled and the AI is now gemini.

Err, maybe some of those, but there's a reason Apple is using GCP and TPUs for training their custom gemini model.
