Big Tech has replaced Big Oil as Public Enemy No 1, says US shale boss

In a surprising shift in public perception, Diamondback Energy CEO Kaes Van’t Hof claims that Big Tech firms have taken the place of Big Oil as the new public enemy. Van’t Hof notes a change in attitude among younger generations, who now view oil companies as viable employers rather than environmental pariahs. This shift underscores a broader societal reassessment of industries’ roles and responsibilities in the face of evolving environmental concerns and technological advancements. The implications suggest a critical moment for Big Tech, as it grapples with its own environmental and ethical scrutiny.
