"Microsoft 365 has more than 450 million paid commercial seats. After roughly two years on the market, Copilot has converted approximately 15 million of them into paying users. That's a 3.3% conversion rate, at $30 per user per month, generating roughly $5.4 billion in annual revenue. That's less than what Microsoft spent on infrastructure in a single quarter (3)."
None of the numbers make economic sense.
Koch Network has a long history of keeping money-losing businesses afloat to achieve other goals.
They kept Uber & Lyfft out of bankruptcy, to thwart public transportation projects.
When Koch Network orders up a fossil fuel-guzzling waste, with a side of state surveillance, they get what they want. Or they think they will.
These billionaires don't give two hoots about "economic mobility", except their own.
