U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, and Richard Blumenthal have called on federal agencies to review potential antitrust violations in the artificial intelligence deals involving Nvidia, Meta, and Google. The three Democratic senators sent a letter on Wednesday to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice, urging them to review several recent transactions in which tech companies poached specific employees from startups without acquiring the companies entirely. The senators described these deals as "reverse mergers." The letter stated that these transactions "effectively function as de facto mergers, allowing the companies to consolidate talent, information, and resources, while clearly attempting to circumvent the regulatory scrutiny typically applied to mergers and acquisitions," and that the FTC and the Department of Justice should "rigorously examine these transactions and, if they violate antitrust laws, block or rescind them."
