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.

By laying off people.

Salesforce made 37.9 billion in 2025 of revenue. 6.2 billion in net income (or profits)

Salesforce had ~14 billion in free cash flow last year they have tons of money.

They're not building out AI infrastructure

they are not just big, they are huge

Its the US Dollar that is worth so much less...
