Came here to say this; this is less a list of biggest companies in the world by market cap and more two comments:

- It's pretty easy to be a monopoly in the US

- The US pumps a lot of money into its stock market

Like, when you have an ad company (Meta) that's more valuable than an essentially national company that makes everything from earbuds to "ultra-large ships" (Samsung) [0], you know something's off.

Yes, blindly dump money in every month to a 401k, which is usually in a fund so it gets spread around. It can't end well, but I have no idea when it will end.

At least it's "excitement guaranteed" for most of us outside the US.
