Funny idea. Are there more examples of fictional YC applications of historical or modern companies?

I think it would be hilarious to see fictional "failed" historic YC apps, especially those that made it big in their time.

Or even better, real applications from ultimately successful companies that failed to get into YC.

Buffer's app is one example, but I'd like to see others. https://open.bufferapp.com/buffers-y-combinator-application/

I really need to see a Tesla vs. Edison (AC vs. DC) themed YC app.

The GM pivot in 2008 would be hilarious.
