Trump needs to break up Google.
Sounds awesome! Why stop there Amazon needs breaking up as well! I can think of plenty of others! Of course the only "illegal anti-trust activity" you care about is this narrow lane.

Musk is threatening to sue the companies. You can’t force people to advertise on your platform, but collusion and various other acts of companies or investors is illegal. I don’t know if he used the word collusion, so don’t get hung up on the definition of that specific word in this case. The broader actions they are taking do have legal ramifications, whichever legal term fits.

Cue the Project 2025 hysteria.
When trump claims he doesn't know someone or something, that is code for it's not good for him or to have it be made known. He has a long history of this. As I'm sure you do recall that trump claims he knows more about everything than anyone...until it's convenient for him that he doesn't. 
Poor Marxist. Can’t catch a break from all the hysteria. Boogey men behind every bush. “Project 2025 gonna destroy democracy!”
Like a squirrel in the middle of the street, just don’t know which way to run.

Funny, considering one from your side brought up Pro2025. The squirrels are going to watch the cockroaches flee when Biden drops out or is forced out. Then Trump loses the one thing he had going for him.

Nobody except Ma Bell has had the type of power Google has. Nobody even close. Not even Amazon, but they are pushing it. Amazon hasn't done as much of anti-competitive activity that Google has, but they've done some. The number I think I saw was that Google controlled 70% of online advertising. Google has been fined by the Europeans, but we refuse to touch them.
A healthy Democratic Party uses anti-trust more than the Republicans, often too much. Each side checks each other's excesses. But we have a Democratic Party that is totally in bed with big business. Its very fascist of them.

That is A legal term, but not the one I’m referring to.
