Snippet from Wikipedia: Big Tech

Big Tech, also known as the Tech Giants, are the largest information technology (IT) companies. The concept of Big Tech is similar to the grouping of dominant companies in other economic sectors. It generally includes the Big Five tech companies in the United States: Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. It can also include tech companies with high valuations, such as Netflix and Nvidia, or companies outside the IT sector, such as Tesla. Groupings of these companies include the Big Four (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta), Big Five (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft), and Magnificent Seven (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla). Big Tech can also include Chinese companies such as Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi (BATX).
