I cannot confirm the truth of this, but I can offer a general observation.

The history of corporate direct defiance of American government executive authority has not gone well for the corporations in the past.

Standard Oil and Bell telephone were both broken up, and Bill Gates had to resign as CEO of Microsoft to stay out of prison and keep his company intact. The government always wins. There are thousands and thousands of lesser known examples. They used to teach us about it in business school.

The writing was on the wall for big tech as soon as they dared to disrespect the president in a public manner. Never mind actually censoring his speech. What were they thinking? They think foreign bankers can keep them from prison? That only works if you get a trial. The government can close any corporation without a trial, or access to any recourse at all.

Operating a corporation is a privilege, not a right. That which a government grants, a government can remove. Trump has the executive authority to cancel their corporate charters and seize all of their assets. He doesn't even have to say why, especially when national security is involved.

He could do it tomorrow.

Yup, that was about twenty five years ago.

Microsoft got tagged with Sherman anti-trust convictions (monopolistic practices,) and was facing break up and about a hundred additional lawsuits. Microsoft also lost the appeal. They were guilty as hell. Bunch of criminals.

Bill lied his ass off before Congress.

In the end of it all, Bill resigned as CEO, that other Steve Balmer guy took over, and Intel ended up owning Netscape after buying AOL, after AOL bought Netscape. Intel and Microsoft have always been like bread and butter.

Netscape basically all but disappeared, Microsoft survived without being broken up, under new management, and the ex Netscape employees went on to create Firefox, which was better than Netscape anyways.

Bill hangs out with the Globalists now. Maybe Trump will round him up over this covid business..
