Alphabet's revenue last year were about $340 billiion.

550 billion is just for compensation. You also need to pay for the upkeep of bases, fuel etc.

MI complex probably still has larger revenues as Google, but difference is much smaller than you think and that is comparing the whole industry to just one tech giant. There are others with revenues as big or bigger.

Who provides the upkeep of bases, fuel, runs the contractors who run the equipment, provides the equipment itself, etc?

The MIC. It isn’t just artillery shells.

In general though, I agree. The tech industry is an absurdly valuable target. And thanks for the updated revenue numbers!
