Earlier quoted context omitted.

Marc Andreessen famously predicted Netscape would reduce Windows to "a poorly debugged collection of device drivers". WeChat, as the "everything app" Musk aspires to turn Twitter into (ha!) has effectively done that to both iOS and Android.

Marc Andreessen is out of touch and doesn’t deserve to be brought up anymore.

That was in 1995.

That is not an aristocracy.

In what way are they not? https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2012-mapping-chinas-red-n...

The CPC has nearly 100 million members. A hundred or so people who followed in the footsteps of their parents who were prominent party members in the past, does not make an "aristocracy." To compare this to a dynasty like the Rockefellers or the Rothschilds or the Astors is just beyond ridiculous.
