Agreed, the echo chamber is real on Reddit/Lemmy. Easy to hate on Elon, but people are acting as if the old men leading most other Fortune 100 companies think any differently than he does. You can find the rare exception, but you’ll have a hard time living in modern society without your money filtering up to a bigot somewhere.
Elon just lacks the filter to keep himself from saying it.
For your last two questions, the counterpoint is, if even Microsoft can’t stop a dedicated nation state, how can any other major service provider say they haven’t been compromised?
The standard now is, assume breach. While unfortunate, the industry average for MTTD is in months. Microsoft was at least good enough to detect it within six.
Can Broadcom or Palo Alto say the same? Amazon, Google, Apple, Cisco?
