Trump probably has Google’s number because it was a big Clinton supporter. Thiel even referred to Google as a utility. I would say Facebook would join them but Thiel is on its board.

Microsoft has been behind all sorts of anti-Google lobbying to have them regulated as a utility, enforce anti-trust regulations against them in EU, etc.

Anyone court watcher or MS watcher around since the late 90s knows they are entirely deserving of suspicion.
