You're in some kind of deluded dream world.

Of course they have. They gave them money and the government has in the
past, and is currently, telling many of these companies what they can

I don't have the inclination to look any of this up, but what you are
describing is STANDARD for any large scale investor.

That does not constitute "taking over".
