This week Microsoft became the third company to be worth over a trillion US dollars. I don't think it's in decline.

At the time of this writing, at a $996.5B market cap, Microsoft is the biggest publicly traded company in the world.

Yes but it did go into decline for a while until it reinvented itself. It's lost its dominance in OSs and web browsers. Government intervention didn't cause that, free markets did.

My point is that the article speaks of Microsoft in the past tense and focuses on breaking up "today's big tech" companies. Meanwhile Microsoft is bigger than all of them right now.
