Constantly? Like all the time? Seriously, the courts are pretty good about this stuff because of appeals at the very least.
That doesn't mean that they are not political, and Twitter is the breeding ground for much of the alleged literati upperclass policymakres and the SJWs.
No, they aren't. "X is a fourth government branch" is way overplayed. They are far less powerful than that. They can force you to do very little, if anything. And they don't take constant federal money either.
The US Banksters and Hedgies have had massive influence over the US government for decades, usually so that they can socialize losses and privatize profits, and engage in quid pro quo whenever necessary.
No, it doesn't. I don't like the company, but that's no reason to break it up. It's 'size' is just assets under management, not anything else. Companies shouldn't be broken up for a size reason, that just punishes success.
The problem is that it is actively pushing more woke shit and that Fink is using passive investments done through their ETFs force companies into leftoid bullshit, and their size and all the money they have received from government sources give them a lot of influence.
Passive investments should, IMHO be passive, with whoever packages them not having any say how the companies are run, Index funds, especially ones the size of Vanguard and BlackRock have no skin in the game where one or two specific companies are concerned, they also have neither the legitimacy nor the in dept knowledge of the particular business they should have in order to interfere.
BlackRock and Vanguard will still hold trillions and they will still get their cut of a very big pie that takes up much of the international market, even if they push bullshit like ESG funds or tank a few companies or a whole sector with woke bullshit.
Also, Musk pledging about 50 billion worth of Tesla Stock for this whole deal is, IMHO not a good thing for Tesla stock prices, if he gets a margin call that will basically force him to dump the stock and by now I doubt anyone is insane enough to buy it at such massive prices.
