Umbrella Corp.
Or possibly Conglomo (from Rocko's Modern Life). They own everything and are run by two dip shits.

MODERATORS
Blue Sun
Weyland-Yutani canonically merged with Wal-Mart, so Wal-Mart.
Black rock
We get Qualityland's "The Shop" if we like it or not.
I'll take Cyberdyne. A laser blast to the head sounds like a nice, peaceful way to go out.
Kroger
Neuralink.
It's all of them, all at once. Yesterday.
It's called the United States of America
OCP
ICP
I'm holding out for Aperture Science, if for no other reason than that their AI has a dry, dark sense of humor.
RobCo
Military contractor and aerospace giant obsessed with autonomous AI.
Replace Robert House with El*n and it's halfway there already.
Virtucon (Dr Evil's org in Austin Powers)
E Corp
The world got its first dystopian megacorp several hundred years ago and it was called the East India Company
British or Dutch?
Yes
Brondo, the thirst mutilator.
Mao-Kwikowski Mercantile, with their subsidiary Protogen.
Amazon?
The joke's on us, we've been in the dystopic megacorp era since the 00's.
80s. Check out Snow Crash.
The similarities I see between them and the Aztec corporation from shadowrun is pretty astounding. Both primarily sell consumer goods.
Ares macrotechnology. Guns, cars, space, a private military/police force, and 'Mom and Apple pie.'
Viridian Dynamics.
"Veridian Dynamics. People Lie. Companies protect their interests. It's different."
We need to revive the neon sign industry at least
Aint the Standard Oil is the OG that "pioneered" many of the bread and butter tactics of acquiring and abusing monopoly market power?
Pssst, Amazon already exists...
If we have to go by a fictional one, I think OCP.
You down with OCP (Yeah you know me)
Who's down with OCP (Every last homie)
You down with OCP (Yeah you know me)
Who's down with OCP (All the homies)
I'm not sure if that's OC or a reference I'm not cultured enough to understand, but I can absolutely imagine a modern OCP advertising jingle like that, showing how down with everyone OCP is and totally not evil in any shape or form. The TV ad of course shows people dancing to it like it's some coke ad.
Reference to "OPP" by Naughty by Nature, late 80s hip-hop.
Fucking Nestle
Costco
I like money.
Welcome to Costco. I love you
I could really go for a Starbucks right now.
We don't have time for a hand job.
