Acquisitions - [May 2020]

I'm sure most of you might be already aware by now, but I recently read about a few articles on investments/mergers/partnerships across the technology world.

1. Facebook invests $5.7B in Indias Reliance Jio Platforms

2. Facebook to Acquire Giphy in a $400 million deal

3. Intel is buying urban mobility platform Moovit in a $900M deal

4. Intel also investing $132 million in 11 startups

This is now becoming a routine trend but it'd be noteworthy to observe how these acquisitions pan out in a world that has been shaken to its very foundations. To understand more about this, I have the following questions for the Dev.to community:

• Which of these 2 sides would benefit from such acquisitions & why?
• How is it sustainable in a post-Covid era full of drastic changes?
