Jeff Bezos Photo: Anadolu Agency via Getty Images On Monday, the CEOs of Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google will all appear before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law, most likely via Zoom. Though Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai have all faced antitrust inquiries over the past few years, next week’s testimony could represent a new challenge to their near monopolies in the companies’ fields.
Pivot Twice weekly, Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher host Pivot, a New York Magazine podcast about business, technology, and politics. Swisher: What if Pichai comes back and says, “Mr. Cicilline, this is how it works perfectly for all our many advertisers. What do you expect us to do? Split them apart? Or create separate companies, separate advertising companies? Or search companies.” Can you break up search?
And I’d ask, “Mr. Bezos, Haven’t you in the last 12 weeks gained 4 percent market share of U.S. retail? Has any company in the history of business ever gained 4 percent of market share of U.S. retail in a decade, much less 12 weeks?”
