Comment Re:All I can say...(question) (Score 1) 121

An interesting question is at what point does it become viable for FB to follow Amazon's model to scale its own system as a business unit...

As in, when will FB conclude that it again needs to widen its revenue stream portfolio, and it therefore makes sense to offer its own version of AWS?

Any predictions on FBWS?

And there's the FB hardware development division, a business unit that so far has also remained in-house but has its own revenue potential. I think people tend to underestimate MZ's ambitions to leverage the FB core to create a broad spectrum business. (following Google's leverage of search revenue to devour the advertising business, etc., and Amazon's leveraging of book sales to devour retailing and then logistics, etc.)

I was considering the possibility that, as in many corporate acquisitions, there is expediency and value in simply buying a winning team over attempting to build one. Imagine the rapid scale Tesla could reach with an Apple-scale cashpile partner, and the (ahem, please forgive me for this) synergies ( I need a shower now) to be had with Tesla's battery operations.

Maybe Apple is gathering car talent be make themselves pretty for the engagement party. In other words, to have something to bring to the table over just dollars-by-the-dumpsterload. Just a thought.
