Why are we talking about the market cap of a newly listed company on HN? I thought such stories 'mostly aren't substantive enough to make interesting HN threads' and are generally 'too repetitive to be interesting'.
Disclaimer: I work on wise.
Compare that to 13 days ago, MSFT was the second company to reach $2TN [0].
But that seemed to be fine by the HN crowd to be 'interesting' enough to discuss about even though I find that unsurprising and less worthy of attention than Facebook being the first and fastest $1TN company founded in the 21st century.
Since each of their IPOs, it took AAPL and MSFT 3 decades to reach $1TN. For FB? Less than a decade.
So the news of both Apple, Microsoft [0] [1] is fine but not Facebook? [2] It seems dang doesn't understand the gravity of this milestone for a public company like Facebook.
