Probably less about tax revenue and more about the executive branch squeezing tech companies to assert influence.
My only concern here is that it's using ex post facto information to try to dispute earlier assessments.
If I 'moved' some AI 'patents' to another country 5 years ago and stated they were worth $x using some formula and now some years later the government steps in and says 'No no no, you earned $x + $y and lied on the original value which should have represented the discounted future income!' that's not disputing the formula used in the original point. It's just that 5 years ago people underestimated how far and how valuable AI would be.
