Microsoft I guess but picking a tech company might be too on the nose. If not Microsoft maybe Coca Cola.

Practically all of them.
Some of them are already at the same level as the ones in Cyberpunk, like Nestlé and Samsung for example.
You can also add all of them social medias / internet big names.

Nearly all of them, choom. Especially Amazon, Tesla, Google, Microsoft, Walmart, etc

Samsung is literally arasaka, but korean
bigbad50
i mean lockheed martin and any other defense contractor are basically just millitech

Pretty much any of them at this point. If laws limiting their power and influence were removed, then real life would just become cyberpunk without any of the cool shit.
Hit the mark with the Nestle example, though. Probably would be worse than arasaka
BigBlueWookiee
Blackrock, General Dynamics, Lockheed, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Disney…. list goes on and on….
They literally control the economy and the politics of an unrecognized state of Transnistria that broke away from Moldova during the collapse of the USSR.
BioDriver
Boeing
youpviver
They’re not around any more, but the VOC was quite literally on the same or a higher power level than arasaka and such, they had the power to claim land, wage wars, enact justice, owned a private army tens of thousands strong in the early-mid 1600’s, and had dozens of dedicated warships, alongside a merchant fleet of hundreds of ships

microsoft, nintendo
Apple and the U.S. government
palantir would fit right in with arasaka and the others.
Pfizer – can’t remember details of this Cyberpunk trivia but there was corpo who is alagedly responsible for cyber psychosis…
Definitely Toyota
Top 3 biggest spending on climate change misinformation
South American banana companies
We’re basically living in a Cyberpunk world, but without all the mega city buildings and implants.
Saying that, I personally wouldn’t want any kind of cyberware.
Disney.
oh wait they are in 2020 and they use lazerus corps as their death squads
Samsung and Hyundai certainly fit. I wonder if Nintendo and Sony would too.
Nestle and Pfizer merging would literally be Biotechnica.
Most of them. The only reason they’re not is licencing.
I mean what about Pfizer? They asked countries to put up military bases as collateral to promise against legal action as repercussions to vaccines? https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/23/pfizer-plays-hardball-in-covid19-vaccine-negotiations-in-latin-america/
Regardless of your stance on Covid and vaccines that request of military base control if backlash occurs is super dystopian
BlackRock, obviously. Amazon is starting to look more and more dystopian too.
Not really a well-known or a major corp, but I instantly thought of [Sheriff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheriff_%28company%29?wprov=sfla1).

Sandisk. Not because they’re evil, but because of their logo font.
