The biggest impact on Silicon Valley tech companies from Donald Trump’s election as the 45th President will be the killing off of what Breitbart News called the “Best Net Neutrality Silicon Valley Money Can Buy.”

And with Google accounting for 64 percent of all Internet searches, net neutrality was essentially a huge transfer of wealth to Google.
