Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren’t straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
Don’t forget Truth Social. Straight out of ministry of truth.
Don’t forget the conglomerate names:
Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard
I still think it’s hilarious that Facebook renamed to Meta, and anything they did with the “metaverse” was a huge failure. It’s like they didn’t learn their lesson from Second Life.
Pretty much. Welcome to the fucking future I guess. There’s no flying cars and green cities and happiness or bloody universal healthcare, instead we have corpos trying to turn us into their consumer slaves and governments turning authoritarian. Just do what you’re told and buy more. Don’t ask questions don’t think just browse TikTok, improve your social credit score, and imprint more ads into your psyche until WW3.
We’re walking into hell with our eyes wide open fuck me it hurts.
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?
