What if Alphabet Inc. merged with The Walt Disney Company?

Alphabet Inc. is an American multinational technology conglomerate holding company headquartered in Mountain View, California. It was created through a restructuring of Google on October 2, 2015, and became the parent company of Google and several former Google subsidiaries. Alphabet is the world's third-largest technology company by revenue and one of the world's most valuable companies. It is one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft. The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, on the other hand, is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the Disney Brothers Studio; it also operated under the names the Walt Disney Studio and Walt Disney Productions before changing its name to the Walt Disney Company in 1986. Early on, the company established itself as a leader in the animation industry, with the creation of the widely popular character Mickey Mouse, who is the company's mascot, and the start of animated films. But here's an idea I've come up with: What if Alphabet Inc. merged with The Walt Disney Company for $300 billion in early 2023?
== History ==
In early 2023, CNBC reported that Alphabet Inc. was in negotiations to merge with The Walt Disney Company for $300 billion. The proposed merger was officially announced the next day, subject to regulatory approval; The combined company would be known as Google Disney, with combined operations in retail, technology, consumer products, film, television and streaming, would be led by Alphabet Inc. Board members Larry Page and Sergey Brin, with Disney chairwoman serving as executive chairwoman & Disney CEO Bob Iger, while Google and Disney would retain their separate brands. In addition, all films and television programs would be made exclusively available on the Disney+ library.
