The primary strategy for all of these CEO’s is exactly what Peter Thiel (I think) laid out a while ago Build a monopoly Then Deny your monopoly “We aren’t just an X company. We actually compete everywhere. And where we compete we aren’t actually number 1”
he wasn't saying you *should* lie about your monopoly in this way, he was saying this is what companies do. at the time, people were still denying google, for example, was a monopoly, which he believed absurd.

Thiel’s point on monopolys is a philosophy about how one should build companies. Athe builder, you should aim to build something so good you dominate your market completely. Legal monopoly classification is an entirely different context, inherently political by nature.

*as the builder. Also, by political, I mean it literally: the result of a political process. Take that at face value.
