Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren’t straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
Now we just need companies to have their own militaries and then for someone to nuke one of their towers. We’d have the whole nine yards.
Amazon is a standing military or armed navy away from beating the all-time high score.
When I think about the fact that Facebook thought it was a good idea to name their online VR platform “the metaverse“ it still breaks my brain a little bit
I find it amusing how nobody noticed when Valve changed their name to Valve Corporation ages ago, and people keep referring to it as Valve Software.
Theranos sounded like a superhero villain. I guess it kind of was?
Don’t forget the conglomerate names:
Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard
I used to call it ActiBlizz. What am I supposed to do now?
MS ActiBlizz sounds like the next addition to MS Office but they already renamed it to “Microsoft 365”
“Well, there was a bit of a stir when it was decided that since corporations are people, they could technically run for president. But President Walt Disney-Pepsi-Comcast has done wonders for the economy… given that it’s… now the economy”
Don’t blame me I voted for Tim Apple
Shinra-Mishima-Zaibatsu
Wayland-Yutani
Dude “X corp” totally sounds dystopian lmfao
The meta rebranding made my skin craw. The X rebranding is dumb on Elon Musk’s part. However you make a good point.
I believe Apple got its name from the biblical term of the forbidden fruit. Microsoft has a megacorp sounding name. Will Amazon rename itself to something dystopian?
AFAIK Microsoft came from the Neuromancer novel. A microsoft is a tool in the book.
Could be wrong though, but I feel Ike that book was written before Microsoft was a company.
