Apple doesn't seem to have a vision for the future. Elon is working on global energy sustainability, self-driving cars, underground tunnels, global internet, reusable rockets, neuralink, free speech, etc... Apple was rumoured to be working on a car... now a VR headset... It feels gimmicky. It feels like: "let's wait to see what becomes popular and then copy it".

Apple makes computers, and means of using them to communicate ideas.

They don't need to chase other industries, because what they do keeps them beyond busy.

Elon Musk's idea of "working on free speech" seems to be limited to "let's unban a bunch of neo-Nazis and antisemites, most notably Kanye West, and tank the value of Twitter and Tesla in the process".

You're spot-on with Apple - but on the other side, maybe it's not bad to have an example of a company that is fine existing as it is and not needing to participate in the destructive pseudo-innovatism race that has led to shit like thousands of altcoin scams/"Web3".

Elon is spending all of his time sucking the dicks of the hard right wing MAGA crowd. That's not a vision.
