Magic Leap raises $827M in Series C
Also nitpicking, but in the mathematical sense, 1000B/year or 1k/year are also O(1B)/year.

Yes, which is precisely why it bothers me. All I see in my head is a flat line on a graph.

Are they really? AFAIK you need to have a variable in there, so all those simplify to O(1) (not 1B). Which is in line with your point, I guess.

Yeah, O(1) or O(1B) is the same. However, 1B is o(0.01 * (age of the company)), even though the sun will have exploded before a company who's revenue is 1 cents * its age reach 1B.
