Holier than thou Bill Gates (entrepreneur, philanthropist, medical expert, economist extraordinaire, pandemic specializer, etc.) admits as much:

“I was naive at Microsoft and didn’t realize that our success would lead to government attention,” Gates said, referring to Microsoft’s antitrust challenges from more than 20 years ago. “And so I made some mistakes — you know, just saying, ‘Hey, I never go to Washington, D.C.’ And now I don’t think, you know, that naivete is there.”

Big Government and Big Tech are very intimate these days. No surprise that they don't fear repercussions.
