With Elon owning Twitter he can automate the marketing for whatever companies he runs now and in the future. Also he can invisibly or visibly promote his own tweets. On top of that the company makes 5 billion a year.
I think Elon probably has a very techy view that marketing is bad. And if he has to do it, he will do it in his own weird way with 100% control of how it will be done.

I think a lot of people are getting into gaming again and a lot are looking for cards that can play their game just well enough.
It has almost all the same features and runs at almost any GCP location.
