If Google does not set the price for 200 trillion USD and it can be really bought, then it will be probably M$ and they will change the search engine to Bing and integrate Coplilot or whatever the fuck it is called now into it.

Pretty sure that would count as monopoly as well and the sale wouldn't be approved.

And I was pretty sure them aquiring Activision Blizzard would count as monopolizing but here we are.

Did you consider that Microsoft lawyers said prices wouldn't go up? Cause they did, they did say that, which is why the merger was approved. Do you think lawyers can just lie? Don't you think it's much more fair now that companies can make pinky promises that prices won't go up before they become more monopolistic. That's just good business for both customers and businesses /s

Imagine being a monopoly and still being 3rd place out of three in your field.
