Let’s map their names to the companies they run. Then reflect on whether we buy their products: Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla/SpaceX, Meta.

Meta

Amazon

Google

Appl… oh

A subgroup of MAGMA, for owners of secret volcano lairs.

Brockman
Ellison and Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia
Dell, Lawnmower Man
