According to ‘NYT’ “The Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into whether Microsoft has violated antitrust law in multiple segments of its wide-ranging business”, such as “cloud computing, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity products” ( https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/27/technology/microsoft-ftc-antitrust.html ). GAFAM, therefore including Microsoft, manage Hyperscale Data Center, which will have a key role in the automotive industry, and energy transition, as reported to President Biden three years ago ( https://www.civitasdemocratica.it/2021/10/19/to-the-president-of-the-united-states-of-america/ ). Who next Jan. 19 will decide over Tik Tok banning. And let’s keep in mind that on July 19 2024 CrowdStrike distributed a faulty update causing 8.5 million computers, running Microsoft Windows, to crash (devices in Italy were affected as well).
Also, according to weekly news magazine ‘L’Espresso‘, the future head of the newly announced DOGE soon is expected to have the entire EU in the palm of his hand due to an agreement between Starlink and the Italian Government. Just in case, the Italian Data Protection Authority has been warned against the above mentioned accord regarding its compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation ( https://www.civitasdemocratica.it/2024/12/09/al-garante-della-privacy/ ).
But if ‘A Country Is Not a Company’ (P.Krugman), more than a Gatesgate, the point now is whether we’re facing a Muskgate; or, talking about liaisons, a hybrid tête-à-Tesla.
