The US Federal Trade Commission is moving ahead with a sprawling antitrust probe of Microsoft Corp. that was opened in the waning days of the Biden Administration, signaling that Donald Trump’s new FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson is going to prioritize scrutiny of tech giants.
It’s signaling that they didn’t pay the protection money… lots of reasons to dislike Microsoft but if that’s the case, respect.
They paid. Which means they can pay again. And pay more. Maybe all of it. It’s a shakedown.
Except they did pay, lol
How did they pay?
A million dollars for the inaugural fund for starters and Satya Nadella was there in person hobnobbing with the other billionaires.
