How does salesforce have that much to spend? Like they are big, but this is a lot of money.
Spoken like someone that’s never seen the Salesforce bill of even a small company. Absurdly high

They had almost $9 billion in cash on hand at the end of April 2026. And net income of $2 billion. So they afforded it pretty easily.

#15Massive congrats to Eoghan McCabe, what an amazing story arc. We love when a CEO comes back and gets the business back in fighting shape and then delivers an incredible win. CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS. I freakin' love it.

#16What the hell? That is so cheap? I would value this at least as much as cursor? What gives?
Cursor at 60B is WAY overvalued. At this point you have to assume that anything that gets touched by Elon is hyper driven financial engineering.

You can't possibly mean a glorified editor-shell isn't as valuable as say Nike, Deutsche Bank, Target, Ford or Nintendo?

They're not building out AI infrastructure
Re: Salesforce to Acquire Fin (formerly Intercom) for $3.6B
#20The "AI" "agent" "helpdesk" they pivoted into is such a grift. AI agents still does not solve the main issues that makes a person contact support in the first place. How do I know? I was a founder in the space.
but good for them that they got salesforce to buy it.
