The entire world made the tech giants rich because their products are in high demand. California wants to confiscate wealth? See ya!

No. And you're an idiot for thinking the world is that simple. Jesus Christ, you are just so dumb it hurts.
They became rich because we gave them a stable, rich domestic market, we gave them a reliable, educated workforce to develop their products, a safe, protected property from which to do business, reliable infrastructure and utilities, a nation where they didn't have to worry about a foreign country or terrorist organization blowing them or their business up, and robust IP protection laws and courts to protect their patents.
They leached off that to make their wealth and used every tax cheat in the book along the way. Google also used anti-competitive practices to drive off competition and bankrupt them.
So let them go to a red state and leach off them for a while.
Or better yet, go to a country like Ethiopia or Iraq or Afghanistan or Ecuador and see if they could repeat the success there. There is a reason all of these products are coming from the US and not Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Africa or anywhere else in Asia or Australia.
The great fallacy of DEI was that it was about race, NOPE it was about White Women, top of the victim hierarchy.

Minority generations ------ over by white men resulting in few if any members of their families with college educations and little to no generational wealth often in underfunded schools suddenly get a helping hand to compete with white people's already existing headstart and often legacy admissions causes racist Conservatives to have a meltdown.
Charlie Kirk himself made up a story about not getting into West Point because of a minority woman taking his spot.
99% of the time, it's some white dude imagining they didn't get a job or get into their college of choice because of DEI.
White Dude Jeff Bellringer: "Sure, I got two DUIs, an 8th grade education, no experience, and have to wear an ankle monitor for things I won't discuss, but they hired that black woman with a masters degree, no criminal history, and 10 years of experience due to DEI."
(Irony, DEI was HELPING men compete with women at colleges were trying to balance gender of incoming classes because many more women were applying. Not anymore.)
