But even if Gates wanted the company to do something, his influence is limited.

Even the CEO is held accountable to the board, and I don’t think the MS board is as corrupt as say Tesla’s where they basically are yes men and women to Elon.

And as American capitalism would have it, maximizing shareholder profit would likely win out, so we’re not going to see them jeopardizing government contracts. Microsoft saw what happens with Trump and the Jedi contract. They benefited that time, at Amazon’s loss, but next time could be very different.
