Not just entrepreneurship, but even competition itself, in a world that has seen nothing but consolidation and centralization of power and wealth over the last 20+ years as ever fewer organizations have been gobbling up and devouring and squashing any notion of competition and entrepreneurship in its infancy. It is arguably the sole model of the technology sector, the pump and dump, setting a "startup" up to appear as appealing to one of the monopolistic behemoths or titans. It's even somewhat of a model in the smaller tech company sector as free money paid for by tax dollars is sloshing around and companies are consolidating and creating ever larger conglomerates that take ever more air our of the entrepreneurial landscape.

It's not healthy, and no matter what the consequences will be, I cannot envision an outcome where any of this leads to positive things. But maybe it's just my own "bias" that I have positive associations with not being a subject to a hive mind of centralized power and control.
