Thirty-five years ago, Photoshop emerged from the special effects labs behind Star Wars, revolutionizing digital creativity. Now, strangled by Adobe's profit-driven subscription model, it’s bloated, sluggish, and frustratingly overpriced. How did the software that reshaped visual storytelling become the ultimate example of corporate greed over user experience?
Elon Musk, once celebrated as a visionary, is now unraveling under the weight of his own hubris. His chaotic mismanagement of Twitter (now "X") gutted its moderation, alienated advertisers, and turned it into a haven for spambots and extremists. Tesla, once synonymous with innovation, now struggles with delays, recalls, and regulatory scrutiny over its self-driving promises. Neuralink faces ethical concerns, Hyperloop fizzled out, and SpaceX’s achievements are overshadowed by Musk’s erratic behavior. His compulsive overpromising, questionable ethics, and reckless social media antics have transformed him from a tech icon into a self-destructive figure, more meme than mastermind.
