Four of the world’s most powerful and controversial tech titans have rocketed by £2trillion in value since the start of the pandemic.

Coronavirus has brought misery to families, driven many firms to the wall, seen unemployment surge, and pushed UK Government debt to a record high.

Yet life has never been better for US giants Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google parent company Alphabet. Amazon highlighted the bonanza this week by revealing it raked in £92billion of sales in just three months - equivalent to £1billion a day.

It came as billionaire founder Jeff Bezos made the shock announcement he was stepping down after 27 years - having seen his eye-watering fortune rocket by more than £50billion in the pandemic.

‘Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber’ Review: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Is Great In The New Drama From ‘Billions’ Creators

It may not technically take place in the same television universe, but Bobby Axelrod from “Billions” could totally guest star on Showtime’s “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber.” The new show from “Billions” masterminds Brian Koppelman and David Levien, adapted from the book by Mike Isaac, has similar propulsive energy. Once again taking place in the world of big business, it features characters who often thrive in what could politely be called a moral gray area, propelled by sharp, witting writing and captivating performances.
