    If that motivation still leads to work against tech monopolies, good. Can’t wait for people to do the right thing for the right reason. If that won’t happen it will be criticized as a lack of action.

    Ultimately the benefit for the population is having as much freedom and fair competition in the tech space as possible. If that comes from Trump hallucinations, from a dream or from something else, who cares…?

      How can anyone possibly think that Trump is against tech monopolies when Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are going to be sitting behind him shoulder to shoulder at the inauguration?

        He expressed his motivations, which we are all free to disagree with and consider stupid. He considers especially the past history for the current antitrust nominee. Either way (and he said this too), we will be all evaluating actions, and at the moment we are speculating on what’s going to happen. Why so much heat for an opinion on such thing though?

      It doesn’t, never did, never will.

      I can’t believe we have to argue in 2025 about this.

      The whole project 2025 is about breaking bad regulations, antitrust won’t survive. You just have to kiss the ring, and do whatever.

        OK, but it’s a speculation as much as the other position. I also think it won’t happen, but it’s besides the point. Does it matter IF trump does it for a good or a bad reason? If it happens, can we be happy about it?

          If it happens to only specific companies, but others will do anything without issues, it will be a huge problem.

          And it will.
