I am not really buying into this very much. The DOJ has been weaponized and become a political tool of the left. Google is far left; it is probably just a reminder for them to start contributing more to the Democrats now or face the consequences.
On the other hand, Bill Gates has always been a lefty and the Clinton DOJ went after Microsoft. But at that time, it was fashionable in lefty circles to do anything that helped out Apple.
Communists are not rational. They are aggressively paranoid and quick to anger at any perceived slight. Hence cancel culture. Anyway they turn on their own all the time and given that they naturally hate big corporations too, it's not that surprising that they would irrationally work to destroy their own tool.
Dumbasses probably want to tear it down so someone like Elon Musk can never buy it. As I said, paranoia rules in those people.
