At this point, weakening any American tech company really is a matter of data sovereignty for Europe. That may not be the main reason all this started, but I think recent months have underscored Europe's need, and supercharged Europe's determination in this regard. I'd expect significant changes in EU policies regarding tech companies going forward. Mostly calibrated to decrease American dominance in the sector.
What happens if tech companies, long seemingly supporting Democrats are wooed by Trump with promises of bullying Europe with more tariffs to stop them from going after American companies.
This would result in tech companies supporting Republicans due to the finanical benefit while controlling the messaging on their platforms
For example "Instagram and Threads will start recommending political content to users in the US." After a few years of either limiting it or providing an option(? Unsure)
It is fascinating how sentiment on here has changed in the last few months. If you look back on any of the many threads on this in the last year you see a much more staunch defence of the tech companies. The world sure has changed
There are US companies benefiting of big tech antitrust enforcement. For example, Apple opening up their ecosystem could be good news for Garmin and Bose. Since there are more tech companies in US it means that fighting antitrust could still be a win for US.

This could lead to more actions by the Trump admin administration against European countries.
Not anti-trust but Cook called Trump to complain about the Irish tax outcome where Apple has to pay something like $14b
