Microsoft just became the second company valued at over $4 trillion. How did they do that?

They fired over 15K developers and IT workers this year, saying cost cutting was needed. They also spent over $18 billion on stock buybacks, and the board approved $60 billion in buyback options. They poured $100 billion into AI.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's Satya Nadella says job cuts have been 'weighing heavily' on him https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/24/microsoft-satya-nadella-memo-layoffs.html

Seriously? I am speechless. Such a brilliant business model 🤡
