There is something that has fundamentally changed (or broken, depending on your perspective) with the valuation of American tech companies. They've always traded at a premium, but the pandemic and the encroachment of the monopolists has turned the earth sour.

I don't know if that's completely true. Google, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia etc are somewhat expensive, but not ridiculously so based on earnings and growth. Tesla, spacex and openai are in a different universe, though I honestly can't say wtf is going on with them
