It's too early to play guess the acronym for me.

What is the MAUL part of your FAANGMAUL acronym.



Microsoft, Airbnb, Uber, Lyft.

When will we stop adding companies' acronyms?


When all the thoughtlord talent is finally and permanently collected into an enumerable initialism, so no thoughtlord feels any insecurity at being excluded from FAANGMAULTALONRIP.


I just keep using the term Big Tech. FAANG was nice but it's too annoying to keep acronyms up to date.


I'll stick with the ~1T market cap software/service ones: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google/Alphabet: FAAMG; But in discussions I'll include any company that has similar tech/business requirements or behavior.


I think I’ve heard MAGMA for this :)


If we're using (M)eta for FB, shouldn't we use (A)lphabet rather than G? MAAMA


(and gamma)


Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, and AirBnB is what I eventually found.

FAANGMULA in the above case.


Why are Uber, Lyft, and AirBnB being added only now, after their infinite-VC-money heyday is drying up, and when the general public is starting to hate them and are returning to taxis and hotels?
