Microsoft already tried that move with the biggest corporate bluff I have ever heard : created a totally new state of matter, controlled a subatomic particle which remains unobserved hitherto by labs across the world, and claims to scale it all to 1 million whereas competitors are struggling with a few tens of Qu bits.
Of course the market didn't crank MS stock by 1000% because this is information age and the internet was quick to call the BS of MS out on its comic-bookish claim. Thanks to all the experts who called it out because normally people have no clue about topoconductors and Majoran fermion.
What's my point? Satya is at least good at manufacturing BS and is quick to be a first mover there. CA doesn't even have the quality to be a good/quick bluff master. Notwithstanding that a real, million qu bit quantum chip is a far cry, even fabricating such a headline is a lost opportunity for Qualcomm.
If there was a competition for loses, CA would come second. Why not first? Because he is a loser at being the best loser too. A true loser for ages. Toast!
