Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren't straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic

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.
