With SpaceX about to break records with an IPO on Friday, Anthropic about to break records with its pending IPO, and OpenAI racing to match or best its archrivals with its own potentially record-breaking IPO, the tech industry will soon have a new set of public company overlords.
Should all these IPOs take place as planned, these companies will be replacing the vicious-sounding FAANG cabal — Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google (now Alphabet) — with the delightfully sweet-sounding (though truly sour and atrocious if consumed unripe) coterie MANGOS: Meta, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, SpaceX.
