> Tech CEOs are not statesmen…

I mildly disagree mostly because I can’t get hard evidence, but everything’s I’ve heard from faang workers is that they are basically run like nation states on a logistical level. Complete with their own forms of courts to handle interdepartmental disputes and PMCs that they like to keep very quiet about.

The US military is famously a logistics network that dabbles in shooting things, and companies like Amazon are already very very good at that.
