From a profit margin perspective they are wildly different. Amazon profits are mostly just AWS. Microsoft is, I think, driven by their enterprise software. Apple is, I think, more hardware and App Store.

We shouldn’t expect them to have similar margins.



Nobody said we should, but they have.


And so it's a meaningless correlation. Telsa has a 30% margin too. Do you want to lump them along with Apple and MSFT?



I have doubts that Tesla can convert that operating margin to profit margin, which puts them far behind MSFT and AAPL which are tried and true profit margin machines.
