All of the companies you mention are at minimum engaged in monopolization and anti-competitive mergers as well as exploiting tax loopholes.

More specific criticisms:

Amazon

- They exploit factory workers that have to piss in bottles to keep up with productivity quotas and have high workplace injury rates. When they take time off to recover they are fired.

- They commit intellectual property theft, by copying top selling products and putting their hands on the scales to divert traffic to their clones.

NVidia

- Used software lock-in of CUDA to gain advantage in hardware sales.

Google

- Steals your information. Uses its browser to compete unfairly in other markets (mobile phone OS, etc).

Elon Musk / Tesla / SpaceX

- Bought Twitter and used it to influence elections and voters, promote racism / nazi sympathizers.
