A few years back, Elon Musk coined the word "Macrohard" to take a dig at Microsoft. In a post he made in 2021, he brought up this term to mockingly equate Microsoft with a fictitious company named 'Macrohard.' 

Musk implied that Microsoft was underperforming, especially during a significant global outage that adversely affected many of Microsoft's cloud-based services and applications.
