TechBro company names are quickly approaching "Doofenschmirtz Evil, Inc." levels of subtlety (and without the catchy jingle).
Bain Capital is named after a person, Oracle is older than the majority of fictional cyberpunk dystopia companies, and Xe hasn't been named Blackwater in almost 20 years. And the only reason I'd find "Citizen" or "Gilead" scary (or "Oracle" for that matter? It's literally the alias of one of Batman's allies) is because Bluesky Person is telling me I'm supposed to.
I think of the Bible quote about there being no balm there, whatever that means. Which isn't a great connotation, but Wikipedia tells me it's a reference to the plant "balm of Gilead" and more akin to describing a famine by saying Wisconsin is out of cheese. Nothing about the place itself deserving judgment.
EDIT: Oh, and it's a pharmaceutical company, so that makes a lot of sense actually. I rather doubt some pharma-bro was going "No, see, get this, we'll tell them it's a reference to balm of Gilead, but really it's because we want to enslave all women!" and got the whole boardroom snickering.

Ah yes, the elites' brilliant evil plan to kill everyone except... *checks notes* ...the people who hate them the most.
Like, at least in Deus Ex the conspirators' evil plot was to release a real deadly virus on the world and only distribute the vaccine/cure to the people they specifically wanted to survive, I think?

Quick, get some more horse dewormer and fill up those syringes with bleach and sunlight.
Hey Trump, if you want to liberate a country and take their oil, I hear there's a pretty big one straddling the border between Europe and Asia, and they've been making a lot of trouble lately and pissing off most of the countries that used to buy that oil.
