Big tech companies haven’t been “the nascent bad boys” for a while now, at one point there were 4 such tech companies being worth between 800 billion and 1 trillion dollars, the last time when that was the case for oil companies Rockefeller was still the wealthiest man on this planet (and banking groups never got that much of a valuation). That is to say that those tech groups are well established behemoths, when you’re actively influencing elections (to say nothing of regular people’s day-to-day life) you may as well be.
