They don't have that valuation now. Secondly, yes, MSFT is on record of this. Third, Benioff (Salesforce) has said he'll match any salary and to submit resumes directly to his ceo@salesforce.com email as well as other labs like Cohere trying to poach leading minds too.

Sounds like quite a coup for Microsoft. They get the staff and the IP and they don’t even have to pay out the other 51% of investors.

Benioff and all these corporate fat cats should remove non-competes from their employment contracts if they want me to ever take them seriously.

Yes, and yes. Equity is worthless if a company implodes. Non competes are not enforceable in California.

Come on, I absolutely agree with you, signing a paper is toothless.

On the other hand, having 90% of your employees quite quit, is probably bad business.

Google, Microsoft, Meta I have to assume would each hire them.
