If Musk made a smartphone, it’d probably need to run Android apps to have a fighting chance in the marketplace. Even Microsoft, despite throwing tens of billions at the problem, couldn’t pull off a 3rd smartphone platform at this point. The 3rd party app universe is so huge that the overwhelming share of users are going to stick with Apple or Android.
Microsoft couldn’t pull it off because they were idiots. Literally. Balmer. Enough Said.
BTW, I had a front row seat in that mess.
They had no chance do to primarily their hubris.
