Yep. They actually own or hold shares of a fucking shit ton of things. They own 4% of Tesla, 40% of epic games, I’m pretty sure there was a thing a few years ago where they bought a minority of discord and Reddit, they’ve got their fingers in just about every gaming company. They’re basically Chinese google, except rather than directly running products under their own branding, they just take the profits other companies generate
