Zuckerberg and Bezos only have power because the state coercively guarantees their control over the labor of others.

They have used that power to manipulate elections in their favor and seize control over the dissemination of information to shape public opinion in ways favorable to their politician allies.

They are, fundamentally, two sides of the same coin. The idea that the state somehow represents public power to constrain capitalist elites is just a fundamental misunderstanding of public power, the state, and capitalism.
