Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren't straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
You're viewing a single thread.
There's also E Corp from Mr. Robot.
That one was clealy google, not the other way around
Is more Tencent or Samsung that Google.
Yeah but samsung in nowhere near Google's influence in US and worldwide. But I agree these companies are HUGE in Asia.
Samsung is EVERYTHING in Korea. Not so much in the west beyond phones and smart tv's, and Laundry machines or whatever, but in Korea, Samsung does EVERYTHING.
Yes chaebol is a concept in itself
TVs, Phones, Washing Machines? Samsung! Cars, trucks? Also, Samsung! Heavy machine equipment, cranes, etc? Believe or not, also Samsung! The Chaebol that does it all!
There was even a scandal involving cancer causing work environments with Samsung like in the show.
Oh shit
And the characters called it evil corp anyways so it might as well have been the name.
Not exactly, most of the characters seem to call the company E Corp but the main character (who's also the narrator) "corrects it" in his head.
