Since when did antitrust matter?

Everything is a monopoly today, and Blackrock owns and manages most of it.

Blackrock obviously doesn't want microsoft owning it, I guess.

Blackrock owns 6.9% of Microsoft (https://fintel.io/so/us/msft/blackrock) and Microsoft hosts the supercomputer / AI ALADDIN that Blackrock uses to make all it's market analysis and decisions.

Lol! They have shit hosted by azure?! Uptime and reliability are obviously not important to them. The numbers are all made up after all, anyway.

Microsoft has been buying up a lot of developers that have established IP’s so they can make them Xbox exclusive titles. I worked at Bethesda/Zenimax for about 2 years. I hated that place. Miles and piles of woke fags and Jews. I quit when Microsoft bought them.

Hopefully at least you got to cash in those shares after the stock split.
