I think there is a profound difference between car companies, which produce a "dumb" item that's consumed, and "big tech" companies which have shown they can have a major cultural and political impact both domestically and abroad because their business is information itself. It doesn't make sense to discount an argument because of a similar one which applied to something almost completely different.

Car companies haven't had a major impact on American culture and politics? Have you been to an American city or suburb?

No they haven’t, not in that way.
