I think one of the biggest problems with Google X is that they give their employees a false sense of what I consider "full freedom" which is a big component in making moonshots possible. All of the biggest tech companies in the last 20 years were not conceived within a larger corporation - they evolved out of a garage or a university. What makes Alphabet think that by fueling employees under a new division of their company is going to spin off more cash cows for them?
Also, what happens if an employee manages to produce something that does become a huge success? Will they be able to enjoy the same success as if they had spun up that idea on their own?
