Biggest pattern I'm seeing here is "every company with $50B+ annual revenue reached that point before 2019".pic.twitter.com/bEwQsOzh9O

Almost as strong a pattern is "... and most of them in the past 20 years". But that's not surprising really -- rather than adjusting the $50B for inflation, a fair comparison would adjust the $50B for GDP growth.

It's a downward line from left to right. Probably because newer companies are benefiting from the free labor from participants in their network.
