With a value of $95B, they are the largest yc alum now. They can afford to invest in building lots of new products.

I am just dreaming - any big boys - Apple/Google/Amazon talking to them to acquire?

[edgeform]

The end goal of every company doesn't have to be "get acquired by a major tech company".

[atatatat]

It should almost NEVER be.

But unfortunately, it often is

[nicoburns]

Isn't that a worst-case scenario? The last thing we want is mire consolidation in the tech industry.

[solarkraft]

Aren’t they a bit big for that now?

[atatatat]

That doesn't matter anymore, it seems.

See: Disney portfolio

I don’t think they’ve ever made a $95 billion acquisition. Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, each ~$4-7 billion. I believe Fox was their biggest acquisition by far, and it was decently close to Stripe, at $71 billion.

But yeah, a $95 billion acquisition would be huge, and very rare.

Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple petitioned to buy Disney (market cap ~320B, Apple Cash on hand ~200B)

[ksec]

I mean why would they?

Especially when Apple has Apple Pay. Which is sort of a competitor.
