> From an entrepreneurial point of view I wonder how it will affect the future of big tech players acquiring other companies.

It won't.

The full power of the United States does not reverse all those shares you sold to a big tech company, or sold as a big shareholder of a big tech company.

If the market tolerates a price, based on their own exuberance and view of future revenues, that is fine here, and the incentives will continue to promote near term profits with a who-gives-a-shit slim possibility of cleanup by the regulators.

Corporations are just a conduit for money, and the regulators only enforce actions on the conduit, and thats a maybe.
