Huh? The incoming administration has a history of showing it not only doesn’t care about antitrust, it actively encourages monopolies.
If you read the article, they literally say it’s an Israeli company, and the AI chip lab is in Austin.

- snypher 2y agoIf Amazon purchased Annapurna in 2015, then maybe you mean the staff are still located in Israel? I think if they are a department of Amazon then they are a 'US company' in that way.

Microsoft (and Google, and ...) did not becomeva monopoly during the current or past administration. For some reason, America loves monopolies. (it is easier to talk to 1 guy instead of 10).
