So Google fails, Apple fails, Facebook has been failing for a while. It seems only Microsoft out of the big tech is still continuing its dominance now with AI and things like that. But this is a great time for startups to come up.

You just listed 4 of the top 10 companies in the world by market cap. Failing is an overstatement

Throughout history every single company with the biggest market cap has failed.

A this point in history Apple has the largest market cap and has not failed. Sure, it will fail eventually but it hasn't yet.

It is failing now

Not sure where Google, Apple, or Facebook have "failed"... If we are taking a single random product's success/failure and projecting it on the whole company then Microsoft has failed more times than I can count, the most relevant to this discussion being the hololens and the biggest recent history blunder being the Microsoft Phone.

I said they are failing. Not failed. Bleeding will continue for long since we didn't break these up earlier. But companies are either going up or down and anyone with half a brain can see that these three are going down.
