Will the Democrats finally realize that Big Tech is not an ally? | Zephyr Teachout

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Musk reportedly joined a recent phone call between Trump and the CEO of Google.
46% : When Trump was elected in 2016, one central pillar of the Democratic resistance involved using big tech platforms as a counterweight.
44% : It looks like we didn't even try to stop the incoming power couple of Trump and tech.
32% : Not only is Musk fully ensconced at the head of the power table, right next to Trump, but the CEOs of Meta, Alphabet, Apple and Amazon all reached out to Trump before the election, perhaps taking seriously his threat to put Mark Zuckerberg in jail if he opposed him, perhaps just realizing that Trump is a deregulatory juggernaut.
30% : The assumption was they could be corralled into the "right" set of editorial practices, ones that would help defeat Trump and Maga-ism, and limit the reach of his rhetoric in the short term.
21% : Big tech and big business are part of the political opposition working on behalf of Donald Trump, not the Democrats' allies working against Trump and Trumpism.
