BARTIROMO: The Danish pension fund said they're exiting US treasuries. European companies hold trillions of stocks and bonds from the US. Do you worry they'll sell those in retaliation?
TRUMP: No. If they do they do. If that happened, there'd be big retaliation on our part, & we have all the cards

Hey maybe Satya should clean up the fucking mess that is Microsoft before jumping in the deep end of vibe coding.
This month MS attempted to fix 114 serious bugs in their software. One of the patches broke their OS.
Does MS bother testing its software? How much worse will this get with AI?
