How many American tech giants would you lose to an American Country like ours? I think the vast majority of them would opt to move and remain with America and side with America against the Left myself.
Maybe Facebook, and that's only a maybe. If it happened, Mark Zuckerberg would rue the day. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter and Amazon aren't going anywhere, and most of the others won't go either. They may fear serious oversight and even antitrust action, but they can't operate without the tech weenies -- and those folks aren't joining "your America", period.
