This is it. Having a monopoly is OK. Being anticompetitive is when you run into trouble, even potentially without a monopoly.

Likely part of the move to merge their drivers into the linux kernel etc.

Putting drivers in the Linux kernel isn't anticompetitive. Saying they're the only drivers allowed in the Linux kernel would be anticompetitive.

Geohotz is baby Musk. He'll eventually find an area where he can put his brain to ideal use and change the world a bit. He's obviously sharp, but hasn't found the niche that works for him. Musk is obviously a transportation guy. Maybe Hotz will end up in Infra?

Reading about his 8-ish hour stint at post-Musk-acquisition Twitter was really funny.

Yeah, it was pretty clear that wasn't gonna work.

Putting them in an opensource os also helps demonstrate that they aren’t trying to be anti competitive.

We need more anti monopoly action, not less.

We need more anti-anticompetitive action. Why should NVidia and those who use their products be punished because their competitors have not stepped up to the plate?

No one is being punished here. Where did anyone talk about prison or criminal charges?

Company profits are not the top priority, if it stuffers so that actually important values are preserved, there's no problem with that at all.
