How to Quadruple Your "Goodwill" Value and Grow Your (Wall) Street "Value" From $152B to $4000B Without Producing a Single Successful Product/Service

Context: Microsoft shares are like Bitcoin and Microsoft "goodwill" value doubles in one year (during mass layoffs)

Yesterday I had a lengthy conversation with someone. We attempted to somehow come up with a single example of a successful (financially) product or service from Microsoft. Other than Windows or Office we basically failed to name any.

Azure? Failure. Mass layoffs every year since 2020. The finances are fraudulent.

Mobile? Every single thing Microsoft had attempted failed. It tried so many times.

"AI"? Count the losses. Heck, Microsoft is firing so-called "AI" people too and telling workers not to mention that. To quote: “We were told not to post on LinkedIn. Not to say anything.”

Who reads LinkedIn anyway? It's a stagnating, dying platform with endless cycles of mass layoffs and permanent shutdowns of offices.

Speaking of LinkedIn, did Microsoft ever profit from LinkedIn?

Did it profit from Skype? It's dead now. Hence, smaller losses.

What about GitHub? Like LinkedIn, it's constantly subjected to layoffs and office shutdowns. It is losing money.

So what exactly is it that Microsoft profits from? Buying and selling its own shares? Gaming the stock market?

We already know that the company pays a lot of workers in shares (a very considerable share of the compensation comes in the form of overinflated stock, not real money, and converting the stock to money is hard or intentionally restricted). Microsoft ropes in people who will pay for its scammy financial affairs.

Someone needn't be a k00k to keep saying that this is wrong. Something just isn't right at Microsoft. All those companies that it bought (such as LinkedIn) can be exploited for debt-loading and artificially inflating "revenue" (not profit) figures, but for how long? The longer it goes on for, the bigger the implosion will be. █
