If this were 10 years ago, the battlespace would favor the attackers. These days, a good portion of the entrenched hardware vendors no longer have common interest with the software vendors. The reason that the likes of ASUS et al are offering OS selection on their devices is that Gabe has spent the past decade convincing them that Microsoft and the American legislative nexus are a threat to their business. He's right, of course.
This is one of the big reasons that there is a Hardware vendor supported Youtube community extant these days. "Gamers Nexus" is rather exemplary, he's the prototype that all the others are imitating, and he is not working alone. He has access into the industry, and is obviously a cutout for larger players. His bent toward investigative journalism and critical review is rather telling of his backers positions.
Elon, Andreessen and the others rely on the enthusiast community as a talent pool, and I'm certain they regard these developments as a threat to future AI R&D. I do not expect this to be a unanimous "fuck the proles and pass the unpopular law" type move, as enough of the tech-nobility will object to hang it up in congress. It's been two days since the bill that will try to get the ball rolling has been out, and already tech Youtubers are screaming from the rooftops about it, and YT itself is signal boosting their message.
Ultimately, not even the jew transhumanists give a shit about the "NWO" or "ruling the world", they have bigger ambitions. They aren't terribly concerned with the opinion of the normie masses either, as they intend to use lots of distance to resolve that issue. They do care about their timetables though, and this whole plan will greatly retard progress towards their envisioned immortal space-utopia.
The smart ones are looking at the stars, and at LEV. They wont let a bunch of petty morons who think ruling a stellar-orbit-bound hunk of iron is the ultimate goal in life get in the way of their long term plans.
