Fundamentally it’s hard to pushback against an authoritarian government. There is very little to stop Trump from sending Doge into MS headquarters with Marines and demanding admin access so they can make the change. Thinking the dependency on Microsoft (or any company) is the risk then you haven’t been paying attention.

The incident in question targeted someone outside of the US, where DOGE has no direct influence (yet).

Tell that to the ICC judges that have been sanctioned by Microsoft and Trump's administration.

Because you know, sanctioning judges in the International Crime Court in Den Hague is literally not their (the US's) jurisdiction.
