Trump was threatening Netflix for having a democrat on the board last week. They seized 10% of Intel. They forced Nvidia to tithe 25% of China revenue into a slush fund. The FCC has been used to censor comedy. The ship has sailed and the only consequence has been hand-wringing.

That is, the money doesn't care so long as it's still profitable. When the recession comes a Democrat will be allowed back in to fix things.

See Liz Truss.
