> What was it lately about Apple now being valued at more than all the other SV giants combined?

That it is not true.

Maybe it's true if you only consider tech companies in the bay area (silicon valley)? Apple is 2.3T.

GOOG (1.2T) + NVDA (.38T) + META (.29T) + ADBE (.14T) + CRM (.14T) + NFLX (.12T) = 2.27T

Oracle makes or breaks this if you still want to consider them a Silicon Valley company (the headquarters was moved to Austin last year)

I assumed SV giants meant tech giants meant Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta.

Neither MS or Amazon are SV companies...

I assumed the same while writing the comment above.

Perhaps the source I was remembering was also referring to SV companies, and I thought it meant the big ones above.

Bigger or smaller of a shame than the time they went down the surveillance road?
