You do realize you just described the vast majority of all tech companies that exist today, right?
- ivalm 4y agoYeah, and fb is bigger than them. The question is more about what it takes to be a trillion dollar co.
- actually_a_dog 4y agoSo what? Where's the cutoff? Tell me one tech company besides Apple, Google, and Microsoft that logic wouldn't apply to. (No, Tesla doesn't count.)
- ivalm 4y agoThe only other tech giant that is a trillion dollar company is Amazon, and they own a lot of platforms. Beyond those 4 there are no other trillion dollar tech cos. The cutoff is pretty clear and the field is small.
