Following Trump's inauguration, Marco interprets major technology leaders' presence as a sign of closer ties between Silicon Valley and politics. He hypothesizes that fewer regulatory obstacles, international backing and commercial opportunities could be exchanged for media and technological advantages. This is an outside interpretation, not proof of a secret agreement. The argument extends to AI, cryptocurrency and US financial power. Marco worries that Europe and other countries may remain consumers of infrastructure and products controlled elsewhere, while journalism loses further influence to platforms. He encourages studying the new context to participate more actively. He also acknowledges that announcements could fail; the conclusions are scenarios formulated in early 2025.
