I mean bribing trump to get all those sweet government cloud contracts seems like it could end up being either the best bribe ever or a good way to get your company disbanded.

It went down 48%, I checked with my eyes instead of going through a hallucination layer.

Edit: sorry- thought this was about the stock price, not about picking up stragglers in cloud computing. I’m gonna contradict Gemini and say that’s bullshit marketing
