I would be extremely surprised if this actually happens. These mega corporations control congress and they will be pumping ~~bribes~ donations and offering sweet c-suite positions to make sure their chosen politicians vote correctly.

Musk would love Alphabet broken up and key parts given to him. Seriously someone should just come up with a competitive search engine. Then start in a web browser. Sure won't be 0-60 overnight. But longer term what is stopping anyone from something people like better. Instead of being jealous or just want to kill something actually compete. ,

Ummmm, actually, uncompetitive monopolies are good 🥾😜
We should outcompete standard oil

Standard Oils market share actually did start dropping quite significantly before it was broken up(not arguing it shouldn’t have been)

Creating a decent search engine and getting people to use it is extremely costly and difficult. Look at Bing.
There are alternative browsers to Chrome already and they struggle to keep up with Chrome (the ones that aren't basically Chrome under the hood) because Google is always pushing new technologies that only they have the resources to implement quickly. That's why companies like Microsoft gave up on maintaining their own codebases.

Would be great to see Android broken out and actually given the love Developers have been asking for. Things like developer support and actually good documentation. Being able to interact with a human instead of an AI bot, omg I can't imagine...
