Governments use eminent domain when they want to do something with your land, it's not been used to take it just because someone has a lot of it - and I think that might go against all the case law, but IANAL.
But all that said, I don't think the government should be in the business of picking winners and losers - no one can tell if a gambit is a good idea or a bad one until it pays off or fails spectacularly.
The alternative here is nationalization, and I don't think the government should be in the business of nationalizing the tech industry either.
