We don't have companies called Militech or anything, we have companies named shit like Poob. Palantir is the only suitably evil sounding company

Raytheon sounds pretty evil. BlackRock as well.

Palantir. Literally an evil wizard orb.

Ackshually the palantir were created by Feanor in the first age and were just kinda like telephones. The orbs themselves are neutral leaning towards good, it's just evil wizards got 2 of the last like 4 that are around.
