One idea would be to buy out the investor. I read in one of the comments that you do have some cash to spend. If you can work out a reasonable deal with the investor you would no longer have a neutral party doing nothing, you'd own 50%, and be able to set the terms.

I picked a few RSS feeds of news sources on the right, left and center based off of https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/
Many of your articles are coming from real clear politics dot com. All they do is show an image and then forward on to an article. Would be better to cut the middle man out. Unless you also own RCP too, then carry on capitalist.
He has two "flying car" startups that he is working on: https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/19/17586878/larry-page-flyin...
Considering the relative secrecy that he is building these companies in, I'd guess he has other companies going as well.
One of his topics really hit home for me:
Customers don’t differentiate branches of a company when thinking about brand identity.
Google Fi was running a special, buy the phone from Google Fi and you get $800 off of your bill. I bought the phone from Google. Not Google Fi. It took 3 months for them to figure out that I was never going to get that $800. Every rep that I spoke with except for the last one said, "it looks like you should get this money, we don't know why you aren't."
The benefits of Fi out weigh the shittiness of their customer support, or lack thereof. And none of the other carriers are any better. That's the only reason I am still a subscriber.
Actually, yes I can.

One of my friends loves to throw the pizza restaurant analogy out all of the time. There are many pizza restaurants and they all have some different level of success. Each pizza place offers something just a little different than the others. Ultimately, the winners will be the ones that offer a better overall service. You already have "out-compete" in your mind set so you should be fine.
To get there I think the GPU will have to be embedded in the monitors, and some interesting operating system hoops will have to be jumped through. Do cords have enough bandwidth now to support this? I honestly don't know the answer to this question. I feel like the answer is yes.
The other idea is just to mount the phone to a head mount display and go VR or AR. But I feel like that is going to require way more advancement in resolution on the phone screens to get right.
We can get there. We are super close. The iPad with an M1 chip probably already has the power to do it. Maybe one or two more years and this is not only feasible but purchasable. I'm a buyer.
