Industrial involves more than tech, parenthetical comments that follow just typify positions, I don't share them, except how we let companies hide that almost all OTC generic meds/vitamins come from China. That really bothers me.
Defense industry (wagging the dog), oil/gas (raping our national lands), medical (hiding true sourcing of meds/vitamins/supplements), ag (subsidies and foreign ownership), manufacturing (hiding source of some materials/location of assembly).
In terms of tech, It's very likely that a few key tech leaders have taken steps to placate Dems and boost election chances. This is nothing new, it's just on the internet now instead of on TV, and in newspapers. The corruption in newspapers - when they were the only game in town - was incredible. People act like this hasn't happened before.
Back to grand government schemes, our government lacks the ability to pull off most of what is alleged across the internet. Whether some in power would LIKE to do it is another question.
