unlikely. this isn't a programming/tech thing, it's a trend across most industries, brought on by inflation and the feds' measures to counter it. big tech is just being put in the spotlight because they are currently the backbone of the US economy.
this could also just be me coping cause i aint wanna lose my job

Elon Musk: Only blue tick users to vote in Twitter polls on policy
Elon Musk has said Twitter will only allow accounts with a blue tick to vote on changes to policy after a majority of users voted for him to quit.
Mr Musk launched a Twitter poll asking if he should step down as chief executive - 57.5% of users voted "yes".
Since then, he has not commented directly on the result of the poll.
But he has said that Twitter will alter its rules so that only people who pay for a subscription can vote on company policy.
One user claimed that so-called bots appeared to have voted heavily in the poll about Mr Musk's role at the firm. Mr Musk said he found the claim "interesting".

Elon Musk has broken the world record for the largest loss of personal fortune in history.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64236726
From November 2021 to December 2022 he lost around $165bn, Guinness World Records said in a blog on its website.
The figures are based on data from publisher Forbes, but Guinness said other sources suggested Mr Musk's losses could have been higher.
It follows a fall in value of shares in Mr Musk's electric car firm Tesla after he bought Twitter last year.
His $44bn (£36bn) takeover of the social media company has sparked concerns among investors that Mr Musk is no longer giving Tesla enough attention.
The value of Tesla shares dropped around 65% in 2022, in part because of Tesla's performance. The firm delivered just 1.3 million vehicles during the year, falling short of Wall Street expectations.
However, Mr Musk's takeover of Twitter - where he has sparked controversy by firing large numbers of staff and changing content moderation policies - is behind most of the share slump.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg agree to hold cage fight
Two of the world's most high-profile technology billionaires - Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg - have agreed to fight each other in a cage match.
Mr Musk posted a message on his social media platform Twitter that he was "up for a cage fight" with Mr Zuckerberg.
Mr Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta, then posted a screenshot of Mr Musk's tweet with the caption "send me location".
"The story speaks for itself," a Meta spokesperson told the BBC.
Mr Musk then replied to Mr Zuckerberg's response with: "Vegas Octagon."
The Octagon is the competition mat and fenced-in area used for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bouts. The UFC is based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Very interesting. Elon working against US interests.
Dohplaydat wrote:Firstly this sounds quite far fetched if true, though there's probably some truth.
But who would be informing Musk (who's apparently on standby to give orders like this) to turn off drones in a specific area like that?
That requires a lot knowledge of the attack which is why this seems a bit unrealistic.
More likely the drones went underwater and lost connectivity and Ukraine or someone is trying to blame Musk.
Anyway Elon doesn't need me to defend him.

Information for the uninformed (story broke early Friday).
